DeAndre Jordan shouldn't take Chandler Parson's insults seriously -- he's just "butthurt" that he couldn't convince him to stay with the Mavs ... so says NBA star Tyson Chandler.

Tyson's definitely the right guy to ask about the Jordan drama -- not only is he the guy Jordan was supposed to replace in Dallas ... but he's also pretty tight with Mark Cuban and Chandler Parsons.

Chandler was pretty candid about the whole situation ... saying the way things went down were "a little iffy" ... but says at the end of the day, "Every man has his own right to make his own decision."

As for Dallas Mavs star Chandler Parsons -- he's been ripping DeAndre in the media ... saying D.J. went back to the Clippers because he's too "scared" to be a franchise player.

'Love And Hip Hop' star Nikki Mudarris obviously wants to rebound with the experts ... 'cause just days after an epic blow up with her rapper ex-bf, Mally Mall ... she hit the town with an NBA Champ.

Nikki was out at Mastro's -- a fancy Bev Hills steakhouse -- with Austin Daye ... a dude that was just waived by the Atlanta Hawks, but who snagged a championship ring with the Spurs back in 2014.

Check out the clip -- While Austin exits stage left ... Nikki gets in-depth about her $30,000 dish-smashing rampage at Mally's house earlier this week, where she obliterated some fine china.

Here's video of one of the best fake fighters of all-time breaking up a fight between two guys who do it for real ... but are clearly faking.

The fake fighter is Jean-Claude Van Damme ... who was down in Thailand shooting a new Kickboxer movie (AWESOME) when real-life UFC stars Cain Velazquez and Fabricio Werdum seemed to have a confrontation.

Check out the clip -- It's a scene right out of one of JCVD's flicks ... with the 54-year-old action star stepping in between the two Heavyweights and diffusing the "situation."

Florida State running back Dalvin Cook has turned himself in to police ... after the 20-year-old was accused of punching a woman in the face outside of a Tallahassee bar.

According to the Leon County Sheriff's Office -- Cook surrendered early Saturday morning ... hours after a warrant was issued for his arrest.

For his part, Cook has denied the allegation.

As we previously reported, Cook -- who was projected to be one of the top RBs in the nation next season -- was charged with misdemeanor battery for allegedly socking a 21-year-old woman in the face on June 23.

Nothing caps off a World Cup celebratory parade like a Taylor Swift concert -- just ask the women of Team USA who are special guests at Taylor's big show at MetLife Stadium.

After riding through NYC in a ticker tape parade, Abby Wambach and company continued the party with 50,000 14-year-olds ... who were STOKED to see the champs!

DeAndre Jordan knows it's not good to have a billionaire enemy -- and is begging Mark Cuban for forgiveness for backing out of his deal with the Mavericks and signing with the Clippers.

Dallas Morning News ... wins.

Don't EVER play poker with the guys from "Everybody Loves Raymond" -- especially Brad Garrett ... who's CRUSHING it at the World Series of Poker ... outlasting one of the best players in the world.

More alleged man vs. woman violence surrounding the Florida State football team -- this time, the starting running back is under investigation for allegedly punching a 21-year female in the face.

Officials say cops are investigating 19-year-old Dalvin Cook over a June 23 incident -- in which a woman was attacked outside of a Tallahassee bar.

Cops say the alleged victim was drunk -- and only suffered minor cuts and bruises -- but was able to I.D. Cook as her assailant. She plans to press charges.

The woman told ESPN Cook became enraged when he asked for her phone number and she shot him down. During the altercation, Cook's group allegedly told the woman they were football players and they could "buy her" in two years.

State Attorney Willie Meggs says Cook has not been charged with a crime so far ... but plans to issue a warrant for Cook's arrest on suspicion of misdemeanor battery.

Meggs has his hands full with FSU football players -- including ex-QB De'Andre Johnson who punched a woman in the face at a bar ... after she struck him in the face first.

Allegedly beating up your girlfriend nets you the same suspension as allegedly deflating footballs ... that's the message the NFL is sending after they reduced the suspension of Dallas Cowboy Greg Hardy to just four games.

Hardy was initially suspended for 10 games back in April, after the league concluded Hardy attacked his girlfriend, Nicole Holder.

Hardy was convicted of assault, but appealed the decision ... which led to a new trial. Holder refused to cooperate in the re-trial and the charges were dropped.

Seems the police have FORGIVEN Hope Solo -- 'cause they couldn't have gotten along BETTER at today's victory parade in NYC ... even after that whole cop trashing incident back in Seattle.

Hope posed with a whole bunch of NYPD officers along the parade route ... one even let the Team USA soccer star wear his hat!

It's interesting considering just last month ... two of the largest and most important police officer organizations demanded an apology from Hope for threatening to fight a cop in 2014.

As we previously reported, officials say Solo called one cop a "bitch" and told another she would "kick your ass" during her '14 domestic violence arrest.

She also told one officer her necklace was worth more than he made in a year.

But she won the World Cup ... so ... friends again?!

Interesting cameo in that viral video of the bully who was forced to get into a boxing ring after picking on kids at school -- ex-NFL star Willie McGinest was there egging on the action.

The video has roughly 3 MILLION views ... and the family has been praised for teaching the kid an impactful lesson in humility after learning he had picked on a fellow classmate.

But we noticed that while the kid was getting his face blown up by more experienced boxers at the Jack Rabbit Fitness gym in Long Beach, Willie was there ... taking part in the tough love.

You can hear Willie shouting at the kid, "C'mon tough guy!" over and over ... while recording the beatdown on his phone.

FYI -- we're told the kid has trained at the gym before ... and the boxers he was fighting weren't pros, just more experienced. His family wanted to show him that being picked on by someone who's bigger and stronger sucks.

By the way, lesson learned.

We're told Willie insists he just happened to be in the gym that day ... and had no role in organizing the event.

One of Jason Pierre-Paul's ex-teammates is begging the NFL star to IGNORE THE HATERS after his 4th of July fireworks injury ... insisting it "could have happened to anyone."

JPP hasn't exactly received a ton of support after mangling his hand in the explosion -- with people calling him a buffoon, irresponsible and reckless.

But Chicago Bears defensive back Antrel Rolle -- a 3-time Pro Bowler who played with JPP on the Giants -- says he's still got Jason's back ... and he's just glad Jason wasn't killed.

"I am just happy that my boy has his health. This was a freakish accident that could have happened to anyone," Rolle said.

"Every year I do fireworks for the kids in my family and some of the kids in the neighborhood. Have been doing it for 7 years strong already. So my point is this could have happened to anyone including myself."

Rolle continued, "Many people are going to doubt, hate, speculate and that's all cool and they are well within their rights. But one thing they can't do is define who you are as a person and put a limit on your will and determination!"

The UFC mixed business with pleasure in Vegas yesterday -- when the hottest ring girls and the toughest fighters stripped down to their bathing suits for a Sin City pool party ... and TMZ Sports has the pics.

It all went down at the Liquid Pool Party at the Aria to hype up UFC 189 -- where ring girls like Arianny Celeste, Brittney Palmer and Chrissy Blair kicked it with fighters like Luke Rockhold and Rumble Johnson.

Don't worry ... undefeated bad ass Paige VanZant was there too.

Mike Tyson says he wouldn't have had to worry about being put on blast on Twitter back in his heyday -- because when it came to girls, "They told anyway, so it was just like Twitter."

Tyson was at LAX with his wife Lakiha when we asked if social media makes it harder for celebrities and pro athletes to keep their private lives private ... and Mike told us, for him it wouldn't have mattered.

Check out the clip ... Tyson also responds to boxer James Toney -- who recently said he'd beat Iron Mike's ass if they get into the ring in a widely rumored comeback fight.

"I'm 50-years-old," Tyson said ... "anybody can beat me now!"

International soccer superstar Cesc Fàbregas -- one of the best players on the Spanish national team -- just became a dad ... again ... 'cause his super hot girlfriend just gave birth to baby #2.

28-year-old Fàbregas and 40-year-old Daniella Semaan showed off their brand new baby boy this morning ... just hours after Daniella gave birth.

Aside from making babies, Fàbregas plays for Chelsea F.C. in the English Premier League soccer league ... and is considered one of the best players in the world.

Soccer star. Hot girlfriend. Beautiful Baby.
