Question -- How did the Lakers cope with losing their 61st game of the season last night? Completing their WORST SEASON in team history?!

Answer -- THEY HIT THE CLUBS ... well, at least two of 'em did.

Jordan Clarkson and Vander Blue hit up Warwick nightclub in Hollywood -- hours after getting their butts kicked by the Sacramento Kings 122 - 99 in the final game of the season.

In fairness to the guys, Blue just signed with the team a few days ago ... and Clarkson was just a rookie.

The NBA playoffs are no joke -- and NBA wives need to do WHATEVER THEY CAN to keep their men happy ... from private stripping to foot rubs ... so says "Basketball Wives" star Jackie Christie.

Jackie has some experience -- she's married to ex-NBA star Doug Christie, who played 15 seasons in the league.

Christie says when the playoffs come around ... NBA wives need to switch into "support system" mode -- "Let him watch ESPN, be their wife, their secretary, their dancer, their stripper ... whatever you need to be to make him comfortable."

Jackie says she doesn't just talk the talk, she walked the walk when her hubby was still playing -- "I'd rub his feet, I ran his bath, cook his dinner, I kept his house quiet. I ran it like a military base."

UFC badass Conor McGregor says he would ANNIHILATE Floyd Mayweather in a real deal street fight ... saying, "I would kill him in less than thirty seconds."

McGregor told Esquire he looks down on combat athletes who only specialize in one type of attack method -- for example, boxers.

"I don't look at a man who's expert in one area as a specialist ... I look at him as a rookie in ten other areas. If you can box, what happens if I grab hold of your legs?"

That's when he brought up Money Mayweather: "If you put me face-to-face with Floyd Mayweather - pound-for-pound boxing's best -- if I fought Floyd, I would kill him in less than thirty seconds."

"It would take me less than thirty seconds to wrap around him like a boa constrictor and strangle him."

Here's the tale of the tape

Conor McGregor:
Age: 26 years old
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 145 lbs

Floyd Mayweather:
Age: 38 years old
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 151 lbs

Sad day for the fashion world, and an even sadder one for the guys-ogling-hot-chicks world -- Gisele Bundchen has walked her final runway ... at 34.

The modeling legend -- whose career earnings are reportedly near $400 million -- hit the catwalk for Colcci during São Paulo Fashion Week in her native Brazil. She's gonna keep working in the modeling biz, but says she's done strutting for pay.

Hubby Tom Brady, her parents and sister all sat front row for the show. Tom posted a disgustingly drippy love letter to his missus about her accomplishments and inspiration, and blah blah ... but best of all he ends it with, "I can't wait to see what's next. I love you. ?#‎GOAT?"

As long as we remember her in our hearts, she'll never really be gone. Plus, there's still old Victoria's Secret catalogs.

V. Stiviano ain't gettin' no sympathy from the Clippers -- with Matt Barnes saying he's GLAD she got crushed in her war with Shelly Sterling ... "it couldn't have happened to a better person."

TMZ Sports spoke with Barnes last night ... and it's clear the dude is NOT a Stiviano fan, despite the fact she played a key role in freeing the team from the clutches of its previous racist owner.

"I'm glad she has to pay every penny back," Barnes said ... referring to the $2.6 MILLION judgment she's forced to pay Shelly for the cars, cash and condo that Donald had given her in the past.

Shelly had previously said she wasn't going after Stiviano for the money -- but because she wanted "justice" for all of the harm she had caused the Sterling family.

Hold off on the campaign ads ... Manny Pacquiao says he's TOO YOUNG to think about becoming the future president of the Philippines ... but says he's not counting out a run for the Senate.

Earlier this week, Manny's promoter Bob Arum said he believes Pacquiao will run for the office in 2022 ... and says he has a bright career in politics -- but clearly, Pacman wants to rack up more experience before gunning for the highest seat in the land.

"I'm not qualified," Manny said at his media day in Los Angeles yesterday ... "I don't have that in my mind. I'm young."

Former MLB slugger Scott Spiezio -- a 2-time World Series champ -- was TASED and taken into custody by cops last week following an alleged window-smashing rampage ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We've learned ... cops were called to Spiezio's apartment complex in Ottawa, Illinois around 2:30 AM on Tuesday ... after his GF called 911 and reported that Scott punched out a neighbor's window.

When cops arrived to the scene, Scott was gone -- so police called for K-9 backup to track down the 42-year-old.

A few hours later, officials located Spiezio hiding behind a building -- and attempted to take him into custody. Law enforcement sources tell us Spiezio resisted -- and cops ultimately had to use a taser to take him down.

We're told Spiezio was eventually taken into custody. So far, he has NOT been charged with a crime ... but the case has been kicked over to the district attorney for review.

Spiezio was a World Series hero in 2002 -- when he smacked a key 3-run homer in Game 6 ... that helped the Angels defeat the Giants. He was known for being a pretty clutch player during his 11 seasons in the majors.

Shelly Sterling says she didn't go after V. Stiviano for the money -- SHE WANTED JUSTICE -- and says she plans to give away every single cent she won in her crushing court victory to a charity.

Our sources say ... Shelly was "out for blood" from the start -- and really wanted to put the screws to Stiviano for all the crap she put her family through.

In fact, Shelly told the Associated Press ... her lawsuit was about getting even with Stiviano who had "harmed" her in so many ways.

Of course, Sterling won a $2.6 million judgment against Stiviano -- ordering her to fork over the keys to her $1.8 million condo AND $800,000 in cash.

Sterling says she doesn't even want the money -- 'cause she's a billionaire -- and to prove it, she's giving every cent to a worthy charity.

Just one month after he was hit in the shoulder in a drive by shooting, Chris Johnson is already getting ready to return to the NFL -- and sources tell us he's "in talks" with multiple NFL teams.

Johnson has previously said he's been checked out by a doctor -- and insists he's good to go.

The big question was ... will NFL teams be interested?

We're told from some pretty solid sources ... at the very least, there are teams that have expressed interest in the 29-year-old -- who had been training with NFL insider Jay Glazer before the shooting.

In fact, Glazer gave Johnson high praise ... even after the incident ... saying he's not a bad guy, he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

No word on how close Johnson is to a deal ... but it's clear, CJ2K is convinced he'll be on a roster in 2015.

Ex-heavyweight champion Riddick Bowe says his bank account hasn't been knocked out ... telling TMZ Sports his $20-a-tweet-stunt was just a little fun with his nearly half-a-million followers.

Bowe set his Twitter on fire yesterday when he announced to his 451k followers that he'd tweet anything they wanted him to ... if they dropped $20 in his PayPal account.

After Bowe's announcement, his @RiddickBowe account became a series of insanely hilarious nonsense ... and people began to wonder if the champ -- who filed for bankruptcy in 2005 -- had fallen on even harder times.

We spoke to Bowe's reps ... and they tell us that the stunt had nothing to with his finances ... he was just giving his Twitter fans what they wanted.

“He was just trying to help out his fans, they ask me to tweet things and it kinda got spurred out of control.”

The prison that Aaron Hernandez will eventually call home is widely considered one of the most high-tech maximum security facilities in the country ... and maybe even the world ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We spoke with an official from the Massachusetts Dept. of Correction who tells us ... Hernandez will eventually end up at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Lancaster, Mass.

This place is insane (as far as prisons go) ... with 366 security cameras rolling 24/7 across 18 acres of land.

Officials say the computer system that operates just about every inch of the grounds is top-of -the- line stuff.

We're told the perimeter surveillance system includes taut wire and microwave detection systems ... and according to reports, no one has EVER successfully escaped from the prison.

There's more ... according to reports, inmates must wear white sneakers to avoid gang colors. They're also allowed to display photos of family members -- but NO NAKED WOMEN are allowed to be displayed ... which might be an issue for A.H. considering his penchant for nude art.

Before he ends up at SBCC, we're told Aaron will spend some time at MCI-Cedar Junction ... a transitional facility that's only a few miles from the stadium where the Patriots play.

University of Kentucky QB Drew Barker was SOCKED HARD and knocked to the ground ... in a brutal sucker punch attack in the lobby of a university dorm ... and the attacker was a former UK player.

It all went down on the campus of Eastern Kentucky University on January 25th -- after 3 UK players got into a bar fight with a member of the EKU football team earlier that night.

19-year-old Barker and some of his teammates went over to the EKU dorm -- where EKU lineman Patrick Graffree entered the dorm, took off his shirt ... and clocked Barker in the side of the head.

FYI -- 21-year-old Graffree (6'4", 295 lbs) played for UK before transferring over to EKU.

Police investigated the incident ... but shockingly, no one was prosecuted.

The New England Patriots are continuing to distance themselves from ANYTHING connected to Aaron Hernandez -- which is why team officials tell us they will NOT be issuing a statement on Wednesday's murder conviction.

It's an interesting P.R. move for the team -- considering owner Bob Kraft was called as a witness during the murder trial. Kraft testified that Hernandez told him he didn't kill Odin Lloyd.

The team could have strongly condemned Hernandez -- and reiterated they knew nothing about what he was doing in his personal life during his time with the team.

Aaron Hernandez isn't just a murderer -- he's a stain on the city of Bristol ... so says the mayor.

We spoke with Mayor Kenneth B. Cockayne ... who tells us the entire community is disgusted with Hernandez, who grew up in Bristol.

"He was a role model for the kids and adults of Bristol -- and now the hearts of those children are crushed."

"We're sick of this case, and I'm glad it's over. It puts a bad light on our whole town. He shed a lot of bad light on all of us."

Aaron Hernandez has just been found guilty of 1st degree murder in the killing of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd ... and has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Several people inside the courtroom began crying as the verdict was read ... including Aaron's fiancee and mother.

As the verdict was read, Hernandez was shaking his head in disbelief. At one point, Hernandez turned to his fiancee and mouthed the words, "Be strong."

25-year-old Hernandez -- a former superstar tight end for the New England Patriots -- killed Lloyd on June 17th, 2013. Lloyd was shot 6 times.

Aaron was also found guilty of illegal gun possession and illegal ammunition possession.

After sentencing in the Lloyd case, Hernandez will still stand trial in the shooting deaths of two people in Boston in 2012. That trial is scheduled to begin in May.

8:47 AM PT -- Hernandez has been ordered to serve time at MCI Cedar Junction at Walpole -- which is just under 4 miles from the stadium where the Patriots play.

8:39 AM PT -- Hernandez has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

8:18 AM PT -- Odin Lloyd's mother Ursula Ward is now addressing the court -- and explaining how Hernandez destroyed her life.

"I felt like I wanted to go into that hole with my son."

"I miss my baby boy Odin so much. But I know I will see him again some day. At that gives me the strength to go on."

He can DEFINITELY afford tickets, but Floyd Mayweather says he WON'T be hitting up Jay Z's post-fight mega-party in Vegas -- there's another place he's already committed to be.

TMZ Sports spoke with Money at his media day workout at his gym near the Las Vegas strip Tuesday night ... when we pointed out all of the post-fight party options ... Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Snoop, Jay, etc.

By the way, VIP packages for Jay's shindig are on sale for up to $50k!!! Insane, but a drop in the bucket for Floyd.
