Donald Trump is already droppin' the sports metaphors -- comparing China to the New England Patriots ... and claiming their leaders are like Tom Brady!!!

During his "I'm running for President" speech moments ago ... Trump took several shots at the Obama administration and other U.S. political leaders.

That's when he dropped the Brady shot -- saying China's leaders are like Tom Brady and the U.S. is like a high school football team ... "They are ripping us!"

He went on ... "Our leaders don't understand the game."

The New England Patriots had the best Super Bowl ring ceremony ever -- a blowout party at owner Robert Kraft’s mansion!

Besides their new baller rings ... they also got to see superstar QB Tom Brady totally embarrass himself on the dance floor. Huge fun!

A small child was struck in the face with a bottle ... and appeared to be bleeding ... during the crazy Stanley Cup celebrations in Chicago last night.

The child -- unclear how old he is -- was carried to paramedics near Wrigley Field to be treated ... this according to the Washington Post.

So far, the kid's condition is unclear ... but it was just one part of the madness that took over the Windy City when the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup.

People swarmed the streets ... climbed traffic lights ... ripped down street signs ... and set off fireworks.

At least 5 people were arrested, according to the Chicago Tribune.

There's more ... in keeping with tradition, a bunch of fans toilet papered the home of Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville to celebrate.

Congrats?

She doesn't just identify as black ... Rachel Dolezal also identifies as a LeBron James fan!

Dolezal was walking through LaGuardia airport last night, where she touched down for her "Today" show interview -- when she was asked who she's got in the NBA Finals.

So, does liking LeBron make her more black? Or more white?

Floyd Mayweather has just been called out by the most dangerous boxer in the world ... Gennady Golovkin ... who says he's 100% confident he would crush Money ... if they ever got in the ring.

Triple G appeared on "TMZ Hollywood Sports" and told us a bout with Mayweather would be his "dream fight" -- if Floyd ever agreed to come up in weight and fight the 33-year-old phenom.

FYI -- Triple G is a BEAST in the ring ... having K.O.'d his last 20 opponents in a row!!!

There's more ... we also asked Golovkin about fighting Oscar De La Hoya, who recently told us he'd want to get in the ring with Triple G if he ever comes out of retirement.

Long story short ... if Oscar's serious, Golovkin says he's absolutely ready to rumble.

Lamar Odom is taking the death of his best friend hard, and we're told the Kardashian family is worried it could push him back into the dark world of drugs.

We broke the story, Jamie Sangouthai -- who appeared on Lamar and Khloe's reality show -- died Sunday of an apparent OD. Jamie was with Lamar when the basketball star went on a crack binge 2 years ago, and it was common knowledge among their friends Jamie was fueling Lamar's addiction.

Friends of the Kardashians tell TMZ, the family -- and especially Khloe -- are hoping Lamar views Jamie's death as a wake up call so he'll swear off drugs forever. But our sources say the family knows the reality -- that Lamar has had trouble kicking his habit in the long term, and they think that Jamie's death could actually do significant damage to Lamar's psyche.

Khloe has taken no steps to move her divorce case forward with Lamar ... it's been dormant for more than a year, and the judge has threatened to dismiss the case outright. We're told they talk from time to time, although it's unclear if a reconciliation is in the cards.

How close are the New England Patriots??? Well, they don't mind swappin' a little spit ... 'cause they chugged champagne together at an afterparty ... and TMZ Sports has the pics.

After raging at the Super Bowl ring celebration at Robert Kraft's house last night, a bunch of the guys kept the party train rollin' to Cure Lounge in Boston -- where they raged 'til 2AM.

Among the partiers ... Gronk, Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola, LaGarrette Blount, Malcolm Butler and Jonas Gray.

But the most interesting part ... Tom Brady decided to tap out after the main party -- so his backup Jimmy Garoppolo represented for the QBs instead.

We're told the gang popped a $7,500 bottle of Belaire Rose -- Rick Ross' stuff -- and passed it around like blame in a Deflategate investigation.

When Dwyane Wade hit the books at Harvard last week, he probably had an edge on his fellow classmates -- 'cause one of the topics was his BFF LeBron James ... TMZ Sports has learned.

FYI -- Wade took part in a 4-day course called "The Business of Entertainment, Media and Sports" ... which required him to live on campus, eat at the student dining hall and basically study his ass off for 4 straight days.

We're told Wade didn't coast through the course -- several Harvard faculty members tell us D-Wade was very impressive and had one hell of a work ethic.

Wade and his classmates were required to brush up on case studies on several high profile people and sports teams ... including Beyonce, Real Madrid and LeBron.

NFL superstar Brandon Marshall took the course last year ... and came back to speak to the 51 students in the class this year -- and today, he told "TMZ Hollywood Sports" what it takes to make the grade.

It's no joke ... Marshall says the course is super tough and super competitive ... but he also told us the #1 thing athletes should take away from the class.

Pay attention.

Dwight Howard's baby mama wasn't talking out of her ass with that whole "celeb kids have psychological baggage" argument ... this according to an expert in the field, Dr. Drew.

We broke the story ... a woman named Tiffany is demanding more child support from the NBA star -- and part of her argument is that her child will likely need expensive therapy sessions later on to "deal with the unique issues involved in being the child of a celebrity."

So, we asked Dr. Drew if there was any weight to her argument ... and he explained why it's "not totally unreasonable."

Drew acknowledged there is some added stress that goes along with being the child of a famous person ... but says it's not really a problem that money can cure.

NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was inspired by Rachel Dolezal ... and even Caitlyn Jenner ... to step forward and reveal a huge secret of his own.

Kareem said, "I've decided to come out with the truth. I am not tall (#shortstuff)" ... in a Time article.

The absurd, and clearly tongue-in-cheek confession ... came in an op-ed piece Kareem wrote about Dolezal ... hours after her resignation from her NAACP presidency. Abdul-Jabbar added, "Although I've been claiming to be 7'2" for many decades, the truth is that I'm 5'8"."

Seriously though ... Kareem gives Dolezal props for all she's done for the black community, and suggests she should get a pass for her white lie -- or as he put it, "a Bill Clinton Get Out of Jail Free card."

Former British boxing champ Anthony Small -- who was 23-2 as a pro -- is on trial in England for allegedly trying to sneak off to Syria to join ISIS ... this according to the BBC.

The 33-year-old boxer was arrested in England along with two other men after authorities say they were trying to forge documents to illegally enter Syria.

Small and the two men have all been charged with engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts -- though Small DENIES the allegation.

Small most famously fought in "The Contender Challenge: U.K. vs. USA" in 2007 -- when fighters from the U.S. reality show "The Contender" flew to England to fight up-and-coming boxers, including Small.

Small defeated Walter Wright, who competed in Season 2 of the boxing reality show.

Small converted to Islam at the age of 24 -- and in 2012, he made a YouTube video in which he said he quit boxing because the sport took place in venues that Muslims are forbidden to enter because of gambling, alcohol and half-naked ring girls.

The insanely hot bikini team at Medusa nightclub in Dallas was SUPPOSED to spell out Floyd Mayweather's name during his epic grand entrance this weekend.

Let's just say they fell short of a Vanya Shivashankar-like performance.

Don't worry ... they eventually figured it out ... and Mayweather went on to party his face off at the party thrown by Big D party promoters @themenofbusiness.

Plus, we're told Floyd -- in classic Mayweather form -- bought over 20 bottles of champagne for his TMT crew to sip on all night.

The buzz in the club was the Cowboys running back Joseph Randle was hanging out with Floyd in the VIP section ... along with Dallas Mavs player Bernard James ... and they all had a blast!

Aaron Hernandez is throwing the most desperate Hail Mary ever ... trying to challenge his murder conviction by claiming one of the jurors may have had it out for him BEFORE the trial started.

Aaron's legal team just filed new court docs in an apparent effort to find a flaw in the Odin Lloyd murder case -- in the hopes Hernandez could get his murder conviction overturned.

Hernadez's main argument -- his lawyer says he received a tip from an anonymous woman AFTER the verdict ... saying she recognized one of the jurors whose ID was revealed on TV.

Aaron's lawyer says the woman also claimed she could prove the juror was familiar with the Lloyd murder and was "hoping" to be on the Hernandez jury.

If true, AH's lawyer claims it would mean the juror would have LIED during voir dire when asked if he/she had knowledge about the case.

The problem -- the lawyer doesn't know the mystery woman's identity ... since she called him from a blocked number and refused to give her full name because she was afraid.

Now, the judge will rule on whether or not the court should look into the matter further.

Drake just kicked off summer with an INSANE celebrity-packed pool party at his L.A. mansion Sunday -- with HUGE stars like Kanye, The Game ... and even Amber Rose!!

But before you get any ideas ... no, we're told Kanye and Amber did NOT interact.

But they did have a blast -- partying on Drake's massive property with somewhere between 500 and 600 of Drake's closest friends.

Among the stars in attendance ... French Montana, Blac Chyna, Travis Scott, Draya Michele, NBAers Brandon Jennings and Nick Young.

As for food ... typical BBQ fare ... burgers, dogs, wings and mac and cheese. There was also a full bar and a separate bar just for doing shots.

Jameis Winston learned the hard way ... star power stops at the shorts -- especially when trying to get into a bar with a strict PANTS ONLY dress code.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB was rejected from the Blue Martini bar in Tampa when he tried to get in Friday night while wearing a pair of shorts ... in front of a sign that said, "Dress code strictly enforced."

We spoke with one of the managers ... who tells us, "It was nothing personal. He was not allowed inside because he did not meet the standards of the dress code."

Floyd Mayweather is being called out for being TOO FLASHY ... but the hilarious part -- the guy calling him out was driving a Rolls Royce at the time.

2-time welterweight champ Andre Berto was cruisin' around L.A. this weekend when we brought up Mayweather -- who's selling his ultra-rare Ferrari Enzo for $3.8 MILLION.

"He got too many of 'em anyway," Berto said ... noting that he doesn't need to resort to that "extra s**t" that Floyd does to get attention.
