It finally happened ... Ronda Rousey lost her title belt, but in the most awesome way possible.

Donald Sterling pulled the trigger -- doing what Shelly Sterling wouldn't -- filing to divorce his longtime spouse.

The former Clippers owner filed the docs in Los Angeles Superior Court ... about 2 weeks before the couple would have celebrated their 60th anniversary -- although it's debatable if there would have been any celebration at all.

As we've reported ... Shelly had actually prepared divorce docs last year -- she even signed the papers, but changed her mind at the last minute. That, of course, came on the heels of TMZ Sports breaking the story about Donald's racist recorded conversation with his alleged mistress V. Stiviano.

Chris Paul going up against NBA sophomore Elfrid Payton would normally mean lights out for the young Orlando point guard, but since their latest 1-on-1 battle came on a football field -- different story.

CP3 is known for his defensive prowess on the hard court, but Payton kinda exposed him when the Clippers superstar tried to cover him on a deep pattern.

That new hoverboard everyone's losing their minds over looks so cool ... like the tech toy we've been dying for since "Back to the Future" -- but it's actually totally lame according to a guy who got to ride it.

Sam Sheffer from theverge.com came on "TMZ Live" ... and we fully expected him to be stoked about the Lexus hoverboard (aka The Slide). Instead, he kinda ripped the gadget as a big budget publicity stunt.

Watch ... he's not saying it doesn't work at all, he's just not impressed with HOW it works.

Soooo .... back to the drawing board, Doc?

Tom Brady and his wife make roughly a bazillion dollars, but even he draws a line at high-priced pool covers ... according to an email chain between TB and his manager.

Kobe Bryant gets even MORE special treatment when he leaves America ... 'cause we're pretty sure his neighborhood Starbucks never served up an awesome Black Mamba themed latte!

That distinction goes to a coffee shop in China ... where KB's touring with Nike. He posted a pic of the cup o' joe he got in Shanghai, complete with cinnamon dusting in the shape of his logo.

As caffeine jolts go, this ones pretty epic ... as our friends at BSO pointed out.

Also, check out the crowd that turned out for one of his events. Damn, there's a lot of people in China!

Memphis Grizzlies player Courtney Lee says he's 100% behind the female boom in his league ... telling TMZ Sports he thinks the inclusion of women in the locker room is "dope."

Lee was out in L.A. when we asked him about the Sacramento Kings adding Hall Of Famer Nancy Lieberman to their coaching staff ... the second woman to join an NBA bench after Spurs coach Becky Hammond.

Check out the clip -- Lee says he'd be totally down if his team hired a female coach ... and even drops a name of the a former WNBA great he'd love to learn from on the court.

Ray Rice's wife is pissed off that people still consider him a "wife beater" -- insisting he's just someone who made a "mistake," and everyone ... especially NFL execs ... needs to get over it.

EDM superstar Kaskade is officially VIP with the Chicago Bulls ... mascot, anyway.

Kaskade got seriously swagged out by Bennie the Bull, and in a video the 44-year-old posted ... he was as giddy as any teenager would be. Makes sense -- he grew up in a Chicago suburb near where the Michael Jordan-era Bulls practiced.

In return, Kaskade gave Bennie a bunch of glow sticks and 2 tickets (for him and some cow) to the Ultra Music Festival.

Brandon Jennings is throwing the last shovel of dirt on Meek Mill's rap grave, and insists Meek's got no one to blame but himself.

The Pistons star was leaving 1 OAK on the Sunset Strip and didn't hesitate when we brought up the Drake-Meek mess, saying ... "His career just got started, now it's done."

Of course, Brandon -- who just came back from OVO Fest -- got in the middle of the feud last week when he posted a pic of himself writing Meek a check for $150 to stop rapping.

Check it out ... BJ goes in even harder, but says there's still a slim chance MM can bounce back.

Video proof here Justin Bieber can dominate in yet another sport, 'cause he put on a soccer clinic ... against a bunch of pre-teen kids.

No, Justin wasn't being a jerk -- even though he did literally dribble circles around some of the tykes. He joined the kids for a pick-up game in the park next to the fancy Bev Hills hotel where he's staying ... and you can see the parents are loving it just as much as the kids.

In this clip alone, JB scores twice -- complete with his own "gooooooooal" celebration. But he also lets a kid steal the ball and score on him.

The father of Texans star Jadeveon Clowney opened fire on 2 men during that strip club shootout early Tuesday morning, according to cops -- and could be facing up to 60 years in prison for the crime.

David "Chilli Bean" Morgan appeared in a South Carolina court this morning, and was denied bail, partly based on his past criminal history. He's now facing 2 counts of attempted murder ... among other weapon related charges. One of his alleged victims is reportedly the manager of the Crazy Horse strip club where the shooting went down.

As we previously reported, Morgan got kicked out of the club -- and then started shooting outside the rear exit. At least one person returned fire and took down Morgan with a shot to the shoulder.

Jadeveon and his dad have had a rocky past. Morgan started an 11-year prison stint for robbery when Clowney was just 2, but they reportedly reconciled during his teen years.

Tracy Morgan got a ton of love from the 48,522 fans in the Bronx Tuesday night to watch the Yankees pummel the Red Sox.

The crowd showered Morgan with applause during the game when he was shown on the scoreboard during the second inning.

All in all, a great night for Tracy and the Yanks ... who crushed the Sox, 13-3.

Morgan has been spotted out quite a bit in recent weeks -- he was seen at Disney World with his family and he was seen once driving around in a sick new Lambo.

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper's funeral is scheduled for next week in Oregon and the family is inviting all of his fans to take part in a moment of silence to honor the late wrestler.

Blake Griffin just might be the last superstar standing in Meek Mill's corner -- that's how it sounded when we got this video of Blake ... at least when the convo started.

TMZ Sports caught up with BG in Brentwood, and we had to bring up the Drake-Meek beef since Blake and MM have some history. Meek name-dropped Blake in his 2012 hit "Burn" ... and shortly after that Blake called the Philly spitter one of his favorite rappers.

So, now that all the cool kids (Kanye West, Odell Beckham Jr., Kevin Durant, Will Smith, etc, etc ...) are backing Drake -- where's Blake's loyalty?

Watch the clip. Blake's still all about Meek, we think. Maybe he's just being less vocal about it.

Steph Curry won the MVP, his team won the championship -- an AMAZING year, but still not the best in his family ... 'cause his daughter Riley continues to steal America's heart.

After quoting Big Sean, dancing the "Nae Nae" ... and pissing off grumpy beat writers during the NBA playoffs... Riley welcomed her new baby sister, Ryan, with a big kiss -- and the photo will have her grabbing the spotlight again.

Thanks to our friends at BSO for calling out the adorable pic of Riley and Ryan that Steph posted on IG.

As we previously reported, Riley has big time talent agencies interested in reppin' her. Safe to say Ryan will follow in big sister's footsteps.
