Kim wearing a two-piece set from Balenciaga and KoKo showing off her assets in a skin-tight cheetah-print mini-dress. Their mother, Kris Jenner, also appeared to be in high spirits as she rocked a flowing, comfy-for-travel gown.

It was the biggest night of Dylan Harper's life on Wednesday ... and the same can be said for his mom, Maria, who wound up being the most viral moment of the NBA Draft!!

The 19-year-old Rutgers star didn't have to wait long to have his name called at Barclays Center -- once Cooper Flagg went to the Dallas Mavericks, Harper was right behind as the San Antonio Spurs' No. 2 selection.

After Harper walked the stage, ESPN got a brief interview with most of his family ... and Maria -- who has two kids with ex-NBA player Ron Harper -- immediately took social media by storm.

LSU pitcher Kade Anderson is loving the comparisons he's been getting to former Tigers stars Paul Skenes and Joe Burrow ... telling TMZ Sports he considers the two to be "legends."

The 20-year-old just wrapped up his sophomore season in Baton Rouge with a national championship ... and now, many expect him to be the top pick in next month's MLB draft.

With those predictions, he's unsurprisingly garnered comps to Skenes and Burrow -- two LSU alums who went No. 1 overall in their respective drafts -- and he told us on Wednesday he was super flattered to be even mentioned alongside those greats.

It's been a foregone conclusion for months, but the Mavericks made it official tonight ... selecting Duke University star Cooper Flagg with the first overall pick in the NBA Draft!

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver announced Dallas' selection from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY ... shocking absolutely nobody, as nearly everyone viewed the 18-year-old as the consensus top pick.

And, as if going first isn't enough pressure by itself ... Flagg will be expected to fill the shoes of Luka Doncic, after the former Mavs superstar was traded to the Lakers for Anthony Davis in February.

Joe Rogan talked with cops after Liver King challenged him to a fight via social media ... and Joe told police the fitness influencer appeared to be "significantly unstable."

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, cops in Austin, Texas say the former "Fear Factor" host told them he interpreted Liver King's string of social media rants as threatening ... which is why cops were called and eventually led to LK being arrested on a charge of making a terroristic threat.

Police say Joe told them he'd never had any sort of contact with Liver King -- real name Brian Johnson -- and was unaware why he'd "be targeting him" ... and cops say Rogan went on to tell them he'd been told Liver King "has a significant drug issue."

The 2025 NBA Draft is here ... and this year's prospects made sure to arrive in style -- from diamonds to designer shades and shirtless looks!!

Let's start with Jeremiah Fears -- the former Oklahoma guard wore a maroon Gucci suit and iced-out "0" chain from AI the Jeweler of Labelle Jewelry in Totowa, NJ ... a centerpiece made of 30 carats of VS baguette diamonds.

Colorado State's Dominique Clifford had a colorful look ... going with a faded purple and pink blazer, while Georgetown's Thomas Sorber used the inside of his jacket to highlight his career moments.

Cooper Flagg is reaping the benefits of being the (super likely) No. 1 overall pick -- the former Duke star is BOSS' newest ambassador ... and is commemorating the deal by repping the brand at the NBA Draft!!

All eyes will be on Flagg at the Barclays Center on Wednesday ... with his name expected to be called when the Dallas Mavericks submit their selection in a matter of hours.

TMZ Sports has learned Flagg -- the National College Player of the Year -- chose to keep it slick and smooth with an Italian three-piece stretch wool suit by BOSS, along with a slim-fit shirt and Italian-made silk jacquard tie.

Fantastic news from Jim Ross -- the legendary wrestling commentator just revealed he's cancer-free after undergoing surgery to combat the disease last month.

The 73-year-old AEW talent opened up on his health status during his "Grilling JR" podcast ... where he said his colon cancer is "gone, which I'm very happy to say," according to Wrestling News.

Ross added he's feeling so good, he's eyeing being back on the AEW mic next month at "All In" -- a goal he voiced during last week's show.

Move over, Chiefs ... one Kelce brother is all briefs now!!

Travis Kelce's older bro, Jason, made a helluva entrance at a charity event in Sea Isle City on Wednesday ... stripping down to a pair of tiny, U.S.A-themed undies to get the party started.

He, at first, had shorts on when he entered his annual Team 62 at the Ocean Drive celebrity bartending shindig -- but in order to rile up the crowd, he tore 'em off to reveal far more of him than the public's used to seeing.

Pacman Jones went off on cops during his public intoxication arrest earlier this month -- unleashing a verbal tirade on them before throwing elbows at one ... and his wild behavior was all captured on police video that TMZ Sports has just obtained.

Cops initially stopped the former NFL star in Covington, Ky. on June 7 to question him about a dispute at a nearby bar ... and almost immediately, Jones became combative.

You can see in the body camera footage, he raised his voice and attempted to walk away ... but he was able to briefly calm down to explain his side of the situation to officers.

Uhh, that's awkward! U.S. sprinter Chris Robinson experienced a wardrobe malfunction during a race on Tuesday ... the ol' frank and beans slipped out of his shorts in the middle of a race!!!

Despite the X-rated accident, Robinson wasn't deterred, still crossing the finish line in first place.

The mishap, at the Ostrava Golden Spike meet in the Czech Republic, was captured on TV ... as the 24-year-old competed in the 400 m hurdles event.

Former Spanish Football Federation president Luis Rubiales' sexual assault conviction was upheld on Wednesday ... after his appeal was rejected by Spain's High Court.

According to Reuters, the court denied multiple appeals against Rubiales' conviction ... standing with the original ruling that he kissed Jenni Hermoso on the lips without her consent during post-match celebrations at the 2023 World Cup in Sydney.

The 47-year-old was found guilty in February ... resulting in a fine and an order to stay 656 feet away from Hermoso and cut all communication for a year.

Alijah Arenas is speaking out publicly for the first time about his serious car crash ... claiming the accident was caused by the Tesla Cybertruck's steering wheel getting stuck.

Arenas -- who committed to USC in January -- spoke about the crash at a press conference on Tuesday ... saying he was leaving a shooting session at the DSTRKT gym in Chatsworth, California, when the luxury vehicle malfunctioned.

"The wheel wasn't moving as easy as it should, and me noticing the keypad wasn't on, it was kinda just like weirding me out," Arenas said.

Justin Verlander's professional life ain't going so hot, but his personal one is clearly moving swimmingly ... the scuffling Giants pitcher said Tuesday night he and his wife, Kate Upton, are all smiles over the birth of their second baby.

Just after J.V.'s pitching record moved to 0-4 with San Francisco's loss to the Marlins, he opened up to reporters about his and Upton's newest bundle of joy ... and he was clearly thrilled.

He told a media member who inquired about the newborn that he "wasn't ready for that to be the first question" after he struggled on the mound again ... but he added the past few days at his house have all been "really incredible."

The basketball from Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals is already up for grabs ... and anyone looking to own the piece of history better start saving up now!!

The game-used rock from Sunday's Thunder vs. Pacers showdown is set to go on the auction block this week with Sotheby's in New York.

It's a truly one-of-a-kind memorabilia item -- not only does it come from the first NBA Finals Game 7 since 2016, but it was also used in the deciding contest of the Thunder's first championship in franchise history.
