Aaron Gordon says he wants BOTH Gonzalez twins ... but hold your horses, perverts, he wants them strictly for basketball purposes.

You know Dylan and Dakota Gonzalez, they're the super hot ex-UNLV guard tandem who are so popular for their talents on the court (and on Instagram) that Drake used to frequent their games.

Basically, they can hoop, and are fine as hell.

We got Gordon at LAX and asked him about Master P starting a new co-ed 3 on 3 league, and who he'd want to ball with of the opposite sex.

Gordon didn't hesitate, saying he wants a double dose of the G twins.

Once again, it's all about basketball, people. Get your mind out of the gutter ... AFTER you check out this hot gallery of the girls.

Nick Young is the Al Michaels of the wedding industry ... 'cause Swaggy P gave out an amazing play-by-play of Julius Randle's marriage ceremony Thursday ... and it's hilarious!!

The Lakers star tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Kendra Shaw, in front of his old Kentucky and L.A. teammates (including Jordan Clarkson) ... and Young provided some top-notch commentary to his recording of the ceremony.

Young really gets into it, saying it's a "proud unk" moment as he watches his ex-teammate exchange vows ... and emotionally whispers "he 'bout to cry!"

No word on if the water works came out ... but the party afterwards looked like a great time.

Master P has just been named the president of a brand new professional basketball league -- for both men and women -- and says his first order of business is signing LaVar Ball.

The leader of the No Limit Army was out in NYC -- where he was officially announced as head of the GMGB, Global Mixed Gender Basketball.

Master P says he's going after real deal talent -- from Lisa Leslie to Paul Pierce ... but says the big target right now is LaVar.

"I want to get LaVar Ball into the league. I want to see how good he really is."

There's more ... P says he also wants to lock down Shaq and get them to settle their beef on the court once and for all.

LeBron James was "that dad" at his 12-year-old son's youth basketball game this weekend -- talking mess from the sidelines and telling his kid to get in his opponents' ass, "like a bike without a seat."

It all went down at an AAU tournament in Vegas where Bronny's team -- the North Coast Blue Chips -- were taking on the Utah Elite ... and LeBron wasn't happy with the way things were going.

You can hear James say, "Don't care about sportsmanship?" -- but it's unclear why.

He then yells out to the players, "Get in they ass like a bike without a seat."

Toward the end of the game, someone shouts back at LeBron -- and it sounds like the NBA superstar responds by mumbling an n-bomb under his breath.

One person who was there tells us there's no real issue -- "LeBron was cool. No problems."

As for the game, we're told the Blue Chips won handily.

Allen Iverson is finally back on the grid -- and begging Ice Cube for forgiveness for blowing off a BIG3 basketball game in Dallas this weekend.

The Answer just issued a statement saying, "First and foremost, I apologize to Ice Cube & my BIG3 family, my fans and everyone disappointed by my absence in Dallas this past weekend."

"I have spoken with Ice Cube directly regarding the details of my absence. I will do my best to make up for this moving forward on the Big 3 tour."

As TMZ Sports previously reported, Iverson was spotted at a Chicago casino early Sunday morning -- hours before he was supposed to be in Dallas for the game.

Conor McGregor better hope Floyd Mayweather's shots don't land like this on August 26 ... 'cause T.B.E. hit the hardwood Tuesday to show off his jumper ... and the dude couldn't miss.

Mayweather took a break from his boxing training to put on his best Ray Allen impression ... connecting with the bottom of the net an impressive 11 straight times.

We've seen Floyd's hoop game in the past ... and while he might not have the ideal height of a baller at 5'8", he sure has the shooter's touch ... when unguarded.

The GOAT is finally addressing the Big Baller ... with Michael Jordan saying once and for all LaVar Ball "couldn't beat me (in 1-on-1) if I was 1-legged."

His Airness was at his basketball camp in Santa Barbara on Monday when he was asked about LaVar's comments that he'd "make Jordan cry" if they were to play against each other.

M.J. initially didn't want to entertain the idea, but ended up dropping the ether on Papa Ball.

Gonna guess LaVar will have something to say about the situation. Stay tuned.

11:25 AM PT-- The BBB just hit back at MJ on Twitter ... saying, "Michael, you vs Lavar | 1 v 1 | you with 1 leg, Lavar with 1 arm. Has to be on Pay-Per-View. Let's make it happen. YOU WON'T."

File Under: "Too Little, Too Late"

Kevin Hart wants his good friend, Chris Paul, to stay in Los Angeles so badly, he's using his own money to convince him to back out of the Rockets deal.

Didn't work though.

Kev and CP3 hit up Madeo for dinner -- and on the way out, Hart whipped out his wallet to pay for Paul's valet ... telling his pal, "Don't leave L.A., Chris!"

Chris smiled and told Kev, "Don't do that."

Obviously, that ship has sailed -- Chris signed with the Houston Rockets after 6 seasons with the Clippers.

Sorry, Shaq and LaVar -- looks like the epic matchup between your sons ain't happenin' ... 'cause Shareef O'Neal says he's gunning to be 1-and-done before LaMelo Ball makes it to UCLA.

We got Shareef leaving LAX with his mom, Shaunie ... and the Arizona Wildcats recruit told us straight-up that he wants to dip outta 'Zona after just one year to go get that NBA money.

Since LaMelo's one year behind him ... that would mean no O'Neal on Ball action -- until the NBA.

There's more ... Shareef says he'd prefer not to follow in his dad's footsteps in the endorsement world ... meaning Reebok's probably off the table. Big Baller Brand isn't on the kid's short list either.

As for the O'Neal vs. Ball rivalry ... Shareef told us IT AIN'T REAL -- and that he hasn't even listened to Shaq's epic diss track.

Yeah ... right.

Allen Iverson was gambling in a Chicago area casino hours before he blew off a BIG3 basketball league game in Dallas over the weekend ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Iverson was first spotted at the Rivers Casino in Des Plaines, IL on Saturday night into early Sunday morning. One witness says AI was still in the building at 3 AM.

The issue ... Iverson -- who's the coach and captain of the 3's Company team -- was supposed to be in Dallas to play Team Power but he never showed up.

Hours later, Iverson surfaced at the Sugar Factory restaurant (around 10 PM on Sunday -- wearing the same clothes he'd been wearing at the casino in the days before. Fans who recognized him asked for photos, but he refused.

The restaurant is 2 miles from the casino.

The BIG3 has launched an investigation into the situation.

Iverson had been frequenting the casino last week -- and had been gambling with a huge stack of chips at the roulette table.

Earlier in the month, he was spotted at another casino in Philadelphia.

Attempts to reach Iverson were unsuccessful.

The greatest duo in NBA history is BACK ... stepping on the same court together for the first time in nearly 20 years.

Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen joined up at MJ's Flight School basketball camp Sunday night in Santa Barbara ... gracing the hardwood with G.O.A.T.-level swag as they ran campers through shooting contests.

Jordan threw up some jumpers too -- and the kids LOVED it.

The camp told us it was the first on-court meeting of the Bulls legends since their last title run in '98 ... one a lot of fans didn't think would happen since they've never been too tight off the court.

Things seem cordial now. Take notes, LeBron and Kyrie.

NBA teams might not wanna plummet for Michael Porter Jr. next year ... 'cause the projected #1 pick in the 2018 Draft says there's a chance he won't jump to the pros after his freshman season.

We spoke with the 6'10", 215-pound phenom about being the big man on Mizzou's campus ... and MPJ says he's not worried about the hype surrounding him and just wants to focus on what he does on the court.

The 19-year-old 5-star recruit -- who was coached by ex-NBA star Brandon Roy at Nathan Hale H.S. in Washington -- is at the top of every way-too-early mock draft for 2018 ... but Porter says he might not even put his name into consideration after his first year.

We also asked if MPJ would ever be interested in signing with the Big Baller Brand ... and his response is hilarious!

Mark Wahlberg is GOING BIG in his search for the perfect director for the Caron Butler biopic -- we're told he's lasering in on 3 names ... Peter Berg, Spike Lee and Barry Jenkins.

Wahlberg has been gung ho about the project since securing the rights to make a movie based on Butler's life story last year.

The story is incredible ... Butler overcame a hard life as a drug dealing youth who was arrested more than 15 times to become an NBA champion.

Our sources tell us the first draft of the script is complete and Wahlberg's team has been in contact with all three directors. We're told the plan is for Wahlberg to have a major role in the flick.

All 3 directors have insane resumes ... Berg did "Friday Night Lights." Jenkins did "Moonlight." And Spike Lee is SPIKE LEE.

No word on who's gonna play Caron -- but Butler previously told us he'd love to see Michael B. Jordan take the role.

Stay tuned ...

Allen Iverson was rolling like a big shot on the roulette table this week ... 'cause by looks of it he was gambling with thousands worth of chips.

BOOM!!!!

Shaq Diesel just responded to LaVar Ball a la Tupac -- with a brand new killer 3 minute diss track going right after the Big Baller.

O'Neal's flow is straight fire over a classic Jay-Z beat -- and he mocks LaVar's basketball career right off the bat.

"I been doing this a long time ... when you were averaging 2 points riding the pine."

There's more ... Shaq also responds to LaVar's claim that he could beat him in 1-on-1.

"You having a dream and when you wake up apologize. And bow down to my Staples Center statue hanging off the side (of the building)."

But there's a twist ... with Shaq giving LaVar props for his parenting skills at the end of the track -- plus, he praises LaMelo's jump shot.

Enjoy ... and let's pray LaVar responds.

Andre Drummond is keeping it pretty real when it comes to his future -- telling TMZ Sports when it comes to blockbuster trade rumors, "Anything is possible in this league."

The rumors are heating up that the Detroit Pistons star could be shipped out before the season starts -- and even engaged with a Twitter fan this week who suggested Drummond could be part of a mega trade to Cleveland for Kyrie Irving.

But when we asked about it, he didn't exactly rule it out -- "I play for Detroit now, so we'll keep it at that."

That said, Drummond still has big hopes for the Motor City -- telling us the Pistons picked up a lot of great talents in the off-season including Avery Bradley.

"We got a lot of great pieces to be a great team."
