Nick Diaz Smokes Fatty Joint Hours After USADA Suspension
How did Nick Diaz respond Thursday after getting provisionally suspended by the UFC's drug-testing organization???
HE SMOKED WEEEEEEEEEED, SON!
Diaz fired up a fat joint with some friends in Vegas and didn't seem to have a care in the world after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) announced Nick accumulated 3 whereabouts failures over the last 12 months.
In other words, when USADA comes calling, you have to check in -- and Diaz didn't. Three times.
No word yet on how long the ban's gonna last ... but it's not lookin' good for Diaz -- who was suspended 18 months after a third failed drug test in 2015 (all for weed).
Diaz has 14 days to contest the violation ... if he wants to.
The last time we spoke with Dana White, he didn't seem too confident that either Diaz brother would ever fight again.

Klay Thompson Pelvic Thrustin' Dance Video ... In Chinese Shoe Store
Here's video of Klay Thompson pelvic thrustin' like a champ next to a couple Chinese women ... trying (and failing) to follow them in a b-ball-themed dance.
Klay was at a shoe store in China to promote his new Anta brand kicks -- and had to bust a move for the culture. We think it was a kinda goofy routine ... but the Splash Bro liked it. A LOT.
#ChinaKlay was feelin' himself so hard ... he kept it flowing even after the track cut out.
FYI, this ain't the first time KT went HAM on his shoe tour.

NBA's Enes Kanter I Woulda Been Murdered In Jail ... If They'd Sent Me Back to Turkey
Enes Kanter says he'd probably be DEAD if he had been shipped back to Turkey after his passport was canceled last month ... claiming the Turkish govt. is out to kill him.
The OKC Thunder star (and outspoken critic of the Turkish govt.) was detained by police in Romania on May 20 -- and has now told Vice News the consequences would have been deadly if he had been sent back to his homeland.
"I would be in a jail and probably the second day you'll hear from the news, 'Oh, he just got poisoned and he just died. He got food poisoning.' Or, 'He was depression and hanged himself.'"
Kanter has referred to Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, as the "Hitler of our generation" -- and in turn, the govt. has labeled Kanter a terrorist and issued a warrant for his arrest.
Kanter says he knows the govt. wants to kill him -- but he won't be intimidated ... even if it means he can never return home.

Conor to Floyd: I've Got A Boxing Training Video, Too
Conor McGregor responded to Floyd Mayweather's insanely fast boxing training video with a clip of his own -- one that showcases his power.
While Floyd showcased blazing speed and quick footwork, Conor's training video was more focused on power shots ... particularly, a punishing uppercut.
Everyone keeps saying it's a matchup of speed vs. power (you've heard the "all it takes is one shot from Conor" argument) ... these videos seem to play right into that story line.
Conor issued a warning to Floyd -- "You've never seen these moves."
We'll see ...

WWE 'Tough Enough' Winner Brain Tumor Returns ... Emergency Surgery Scheduled
"WWE Tough Enough 3" winner Matt Cappotelli says he's undergoing emergency brain surgery on Thursday after doctors found a "very large tumor" in his brain.
Cappotelli was diagnosed with a tumor in 2005 -- just a couple years after winning a WWE contract in the reality TV competition. His big break was coming ... but surgery forced him into retirement at age 27.
Everything seemed to be going well ... until the tumor returned.
"Waiting to be taken for my MRI and get prepared for my second brain surgery tomorrow," Cappotelli said in a statement Wednesday on his wife's Facebook page.
"Just found out the tumor that I had removed 10 years ago has come back much more aggressively and needs to be dealt with."
"It's a very large tumor and there is a portion that is inoperable."
"The portion that they're hoping to remove will be sent for pathology, which will determine what exactly we are dealing with and provide insight on future treatment plans and the next steps for the inoperable portion in my brain stem #John9:1-3."
Cappotelli was a tough S.O.B. on the reality show -- taking a beating from wrestling legend Bob "Hardcore" Holly ... and still coming back to win the show.
We rooted for him then. Rooting harder now.

Bernie Madoff Sons' Estates to Fork Over $23 Mil Worth of Ill-Gotten Cash
Bernie Madoff's family is not done paying back the money he scammed from thousands of investors.
The estates of Bernie's late sons -- Mark and Andrew -- have agreed to forfeit $23 million in money they acquired through years of their dad's infamous Ponzi scheme. It's part of a deal struck with Irving Picard, who's responsible for recovering cash for Madoff's victims.
Both sons died years ago -- Mark of a suicide in 2010, and Andrew of cancer in 2014. Neither was ever charged in connection to their father's crimes. After the payback, their estates will still reportedly be worth $1.75 mil for Mark, and $2 mil for Andrew.
Bernie is currently serving a 150-year federal prison sentence in North Carolina for pleading guilty to 11 federal felonies in March 2009.

Taylor Swift Bizarre Congrats to Russell Westbrook ... Who She's Never Met
This is weird and fun ...
Taylor Swift just made a congratulations video for newly crowned NBA MVP Russell Westbrook joking with the guy like they've been buddies for years -- even though they've never met.
The Oklahoma City Thunder star got the award Monday night -- and hours later, Taylor released the video saying, "Russell, it’s Taylor. Remember? I was the one who taught you how to play basketball?"

She then admits they've actually never hung out together once.
Kinda funny. Kinda weird. Kinda sweet.
What's interesting ... Taylor really hasn't done any public interviews or appearances since February -- so this is sorta like her reintroduction to the spotlight. Who'da thunk she woulda used the NBA as a way in?
Who cares ... welcome back!
