Sports mega-agent Drew Rosenhaus has opted not to test free agency ... and instead he's officially calling off the divorce and staying married to his insanely hot wife ... TMZ Sports has learned.

As we previously reported, Rosenhaus filed for divorce from Lisa Thomson back in January following an epic blowout at their home in Miami, in which the cops were called to calm things down.

But sources close to the couple say ... both sides wanted to reconcile -- and they did. As one person connected to the situation says, "There was a rough patch. They worked through it and their future is bright."

As for the divorce, the case was officially dismissed because Drew never took the proper steps to move the case forward.

As for Lisa, she recently posted a photo of the two together with the caption, "Date night with my handsome husband."

Mazel.

A former ball boy for the U.S. Olympic basketball team says he has the ACTUAL SNEAKERS Michael Jordan wore during the '84 Games ... and now, he's putting them on the auction block.

TMZ Sports has learned ... the kid, now a full-blown man, says MJ signed the kicks and gave him the pair as a gift moments after Team USA won the gold medal.

FYI -- the '84 team included future NBA superstars like Patrick Ewing, Chris Mullin and Sam Perkins.

What's interesting about the shoes ... they're made by Converse, not Nike -- and the '84 Games was the last time (at least that we could find) that Jordan rocked a pair of non-swoosh kicks on the court.

The former ball boy -- who doesn't want to reveal his name -- says he saw that Jordan's "flu game" shoes sold for $104k in 2013 ... and decided to hit up Grey Flannel Auctions to see if he could get a similar payday.

We're told the shoes have been authenticated -- and will hit the auction block on June 5th.

Starting bid -- $50k.

Good luck.

Ronda Rousey only has ONE concern when it comes to selling her beloved '05 Honda Accord -- she hopes the new owner isn't some "crazy super fan who jerks off to it everyday."

The UFC superstar teamed up with her sponsor Armbar Nation to list her old whip on eBay -- the car she once lived in when she was just a struggling fighter looking to make ends meet.

In just a few short days, the bidding has already swelled to $17k -- despite the fact it needs a new transmission and has over 156,000 miles on it.

But get this ... to help with the sale of the ride she lovingly nicknamed "The Fonda," Ronda personally inscribed a message on the car's dashboard:

"You were the best noble steed I could ask for. You never broke down, you hung in there when I couldn't afford to change your oil. I could always depend on you. I love you, enjoy retirement."

The whole thing has been an emotional experience for Rousey, who tells TMZ Sports ... "The Fonda will always have a special place in my heart."

"I love it very much and hope that the next owner will be someone who will love and respect it. And not some crazy super fan who jerks off to it everyday."

Diamond studded King Tut is out, diamond studded Anubis is wayyy in -- so says NBA star Trevor Ariza ... who just dropped $12,000 on a brand new jackal-headed gold piece ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The Rockets star hit up Johnny's Custom Jewelry in Houston looking for something cool -- and according to the brother of the owner, Zo, asked for a piece with an ancient Egyptian theme.

But Zo says Ariza was tired of seeing King Tut everywhere ... and wanted something a little more original. So he crafted an 18-karat design of Anubis -- a god who ushered souls into the afterlife.

Bonus Egyptian Joke -- What's a mummy's favorite kind of music? Wrap.

Justin Bieber's no joke on a skateboard ... the guy has REAL support from one of the best skaters on the planet -- Ryan Sheckler ... who tells TMZ Sports Justin's got real skills on wheels.

Sheckler was at LAX -- heading to Austin for the X Games -- when we showed him recent footage of Bieber riding one of those new motorized skateboards on his private jet.

Ryan LOVED IT -- and told us he thinks Bieber has the passion to take his skate game to the next level.

Sheckler would know ... the two actually skated together at Ryan's private skate park in Orange County back in 2014.

So, could we see Bieber competing in the X Games one day?

Sheckler isn't exactly ruling it out -- "Bieber can do whatever he wants man."

Caitlyn Jenner has to start from scratch on the golf course, because we've learned the official golfing organization will NOT recognize her golfing prowess based on her days as Bruce Jenner.

Bruce was a fantastic golfer -- his average golfing score was only slightly above par. In other words, if par was 72, Bruce's average was around 77. In golfer's lingo, he had a handicap of 5.3. A handicap is an important status symbol in the sport.

Here's the problem ... the U.S. Golf Association won't allow Catilyn to use Bruce's handicap. The USGA says it's now irrelevant what Bruce achieved and Caitlyn has to start fresh, based on what she does from this point forward.

But, there's a silver lining. Women get a better handicap than men for the exact same performance. So, assuming Catilyn can play as well as Bruce, she'll end up with a lower (better) handicap.

Cool move by Russell Wilson and his GF Ciara ... who made a surprise visit to Seattle Children's Hospital last night -- and kids LOVED IT!!!

We're told the NFL's new hot couple spent time talking to several patients, taking pics and signing autographs. One patient even sketched out a pic for Russell ... complete with his trademark eye black.

After the visit, the hospital tweeted at the stars ... saying, "Thank you @DangeRussWilson & @Ciara for a surprise, star-studded evening for our patients. Feeling starstruck."

BTW -- Seattle Children's Hospital has been a celebrity hot spot this year ... with Chris Pratt and Chris Evans visiting the kids right after the Super Bowl.

Houston Rockets superstar James Harden says there's no way he STOLE his famous cooking dance celebration from rapper Lil B ... 'cause he has NO IDEA who Lil B is.

Harden was back home in L.A. Tuesday night -- hangin' at 1 OAK nightclub with fellow NBA star Ty Lawson -- when we asked him about the "Based God Curse" that seemed to lead to the Rockets demise.

FYI -- Lil B says HE created the cooking dance and put a curse on Harden because the NBA star didn't give him proper credit.

Monica and NBA star Shannon Brown clearly have money to burn, because they blew $70,000 on a birthday party ... for her 10-year-old son!

Lil Rocko marked a decade on Earth by celebrating at the Georgia Aquarium. The theme was Fresh Prince of Bel-Air ... a show that was off the air 9 years before he was born.

Gotta say the party was awesome ... it looks like they're underwater, staring at the captured sharks.

There was plenty of sugar ... candy apples, cotton candy and a topsy-turvy cake.

Among the guests ...Toronto Raptors guard Lou Williams, Future's kids, and Lil Rocko's classmates. Lil's pop, rapper Rocko, was also there (and footed part of the bill).

Bengals tackle Devon Still is getting his entire back tatted up to mark two emotional milestones related to his daughter's cancer battle … and TMZ Sports got a preview of the finished piece.

Devon’s tattoo artist, Dan Price, tells us the defensive tackle just completed stage one of the enormous tattoo -- an image of Leah Still's face in the upper right of his back. But he says Devon's got at least 40 more hours of work ahead to complete an incredible mashup of Disney scenes.

Price says the Magic Kingdom castle, Ariel from "The Little Mermaid" and Aladdin's lamp will all be included. We're told the lamp symbolizes Devon's wish for Leah's continued recovery. She's currently in remission, but dealing with complications from stem cell treatment.

Devon's getting the tattoo to mark the 1-year anniversary of Leah's diagnosis. As for the Disney scenes -- Price says Devon’s favorite memory with his daughter was a trip they took to Disney World.

Wanna learn how to speak Latvian?? Well, no one else does either ... so says projected 1st round NBA Draft pick -- and proud Latvian -- Kristaps Porzingis.

The 7-footer just touched down in NYC for the upcoming draft ... and told us he's multilingual -- fluent in English, Spanish and Latvian.

So, we had to ask if he plans on sharing some Latvian with his future teammates or anyone else who might wanna learn to speak his native language.

His response is HILARIOUS!!!

"No one wants to learn Latvian. You can speak only Latvian in Latvia and no one wants to go to f**king Latvia!"

Hey, there are PLENTY of people who want to go to Latvia ... where there's an actual museum dedicated to dolls. Just dolls. Lots of creepy, weird lookin' dolls.

Floyd Mayweather put cake to camera this weekend ... to show off a custom dessert at a belated Pacquiao victory party ... a dessert that's worth $15,000!!!!

It all went down at LIV nightclub in Miami -- where Mayweather was partying with a bunch of people from his TMT crew -- including DJ Jay Bling, Ricki Brazil and P-Reala.

At one point, Mayweather was presented with a 90-pound custom cake from Divine Delicacies
(coordinated by his friend Ms. Bling) ... a lemon rum cake that contained more than 10,000 Swarovski crystals!!!!

But get this ... we're told Floyd LOVED the look of the cake so much, he didn't want anybody to eat it until the party was over. At one point Floyd said, "I'm serious about nobody cutting my cake!"

We're told everyone obliged ... but when Floyd finally gave people the green light, only a few select people were given permission to dig in -- and didn't come close to finishing the whole thing.

Nick Young's days of raging and having fun are over ... 'cause now that he's engaged to be married, Swaggy says he's trading in the fast life -- for bingo.

Moments after he proposed to Iggy Azalea, Young shot a video talking about what his life is going to be like after trying the knot.

"I've retired my jersey man, I'm done. I'm gonna go play bingo and cards ... that's my life now."

Moments later, one of Nick's friends poured out some liquor for Nick -- saying, "To my dead homie."

Soooo ... congrats!?

If Tom Hanks' son wants to use the N-word in a rap song, he'd better watch his ass -- so says WNBA legend Lisa Leslie who says "the real homeboys" could have a real problem with it.

Chet Haze -- who is extremely white -- has been on a crusade to justify using the N-word ... saying it's not about race, it's "about the culture you identify with."

So, how does Leslie feel about it?

First off, she's not a fan of the word -- saying, "It's really unfortunate that it's a word that's hung around for 200 years plus."

Game respects game ... at least when it comes to LeBron James ... who was so impressed with the kid who won the 2015 Scripps National Spelling Bee -- that he just sent him a whole bunch of awesome Cavs swag ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The kid who popped up on LeBron's radar -- Gokul Venkatachalam -- is a HUGE Cavaliers fan who rocked a LeBron #23 jersey underneath his button down shirt ... while dominating the spelling bee.

A rep for the Cavs tells us LeBron and the team were so impressed by the performance ... they hooked Gokul up with a pair of Nike Lebron XII's ... inscribed with a personal message from King James ... plus a bunch of team apparel.

We spoke to Gokul, who hasn't yet received the swag ... but says he is "pumped" that LeBron and the team recognized his accomplishment.

Pretty cool, right?

Two Boston tow truck operators didn't want to go down as the guys who hauled off Rob Gronkowski's party bus, so they let him off the hook ... and the Gronk couldn't have been happier.

Matthew from Todisco Towing tells TMZ Sports he was called to Howl at the Moon in Boston early Sunday morning to haul off a bus that was parked illegally in a private lot.

Despite the bus being adorned with a Body Armor logo (which Rob endorses) and his #87 ... Matthew claims he had no idea he was about to tow Gronk's ride.

Once the bus was up on the truck and ready to go, Matthew says several patrons began asking him, "Don't you know whose bus that is?"

Then, someone from Rob's entourage came out and promised to move it ... and Matthew decided, "I didn’t want to find out what the end result would be if I had towed the truck. You know Pats fans wouldn’t have that."

So Matthew let the truck down and that's when Gronk emerged -- super thankful for the reprieve -- and posed for a few pics.

Matthew was quick to tell us ... Gronk never asked anyone to stop or offered any kind of favor. Everyone involved was just acting out of the kindness of their hearts.

Not everyone was so lucky ... a few other cars did get towed that night.

Pays to be Gronk.
