Laura Govan -- Ray J Needs To Step His Game Up

Laura Govan didn't need Ray J's help after he rammed into her her during a recent softball game ... 'cause she's a gangsta.

Just as important, for Ray J's sake … is what Laura's fiancé Gilbert Arenas thought about the hit.
Laura tells us, and also reveals the new badass nickname Gilbert gave her after the collision. Check it out.
