The Warriors superstar backed JaVale (his teammate) and took shots at Shaq ... including telling reporters the 4-time NBA champ was acting "childish" and unnecessarily ruining McGee's career.
Now the Big Aristotle has clapped back at K.D. ... saying "mind yo business this ain't for you."
"I understand u sticking up for your teammate that's cool but your boy @JaValeMcGee34 is still a bum, he started it I'm a finish it."

Shaq Physically Threatens JaVale McGee 'I'll Smack The S*** Outta You'
Shaq's playful beef with NBA player JaVale McGee just went NUCLEAR ... with the two men vowing to fight each other ON SIGHT after a series of menacing and threatening tweets.
McGee's been a target of Shaq's 'Shaqtin' A Fool' segment on "Inside The NBA" for years, and apparently had enough when the broadcast devoted a whole segment to his on court screw-ups Thursday night.
JaVale took to Twitter and blasted O'Neal, asking Shaq to kindly get his umm, peanut emojis out of his mouth ... you get the meaning, right?
Shaq wasted no time firing back ... leveling a direct physical threat at the Warriors big man that had ZERO of O'Neal's trademark levity.
"@JaValeMcGee34 don't be acting like u a g I'll smack the s**t out yo bum ass u da one that be looking stupid with your dumb ass #bumass."
Shaq then doubled down, making the threat a promise saying, "we gonna see how tough you are when I see yo ass."
McGee and O'Neal's rift has threatened to get serious before, including a time JaVale called Shaq a "coon" -- a terrible racially charged insult to a black man -- on LIVE TV ... but it's clear that things have now gotten outta hand.

Jay Glazer Floyd Should Avoid Conor McGregor Unless It's In A Boxing Ring
If Floyd Mayweather doesn't wanna get beat up, he should avoid running into Conor McGregor anywhere outside of a boxing ring ... so says Jay Glazer.
Glazer says there's a great chance Conor and Floyd's paths will cross while both are in L.A. ... and if that happens, it won't be a good situation for Mayweather.
Jay says there might be one savior that'd keep Floyd upright and conscious if they were to mix it up on the streets.
Glazer also has genius solution that'll bring the 2 fighters face-to-face ... TINDER!

Porsha Williams Kandi Took a Low Blow at Me! I'm No Bigot, But I'll Re-Apologize
Porsha Williams thinks Kandi Burruss is taking shots at her just to fire up the LGBTQ community over some ancient video, for which Porsha's already apologized.
Porsha tells TMZ she's extremely disheartened Kandi would stoop low and bring the word "hate" into the mix while referencing her church sermon from 10 years ago. She claims it was taken out of context, and stands by her former apology for the video.
Kandi told one of our photogs she thinks Porsha doesn't love herself, because she attacked the gay community in the sermon even though she's had lesbian experiences ... which came out on 'RHOA.'
Porsha says Kandi should stop trying to make trouble ... especially because she already did a mea culpa, saying ... "I believe we are all God's children ... although some people judge others by race, gender, status, religion, or sexual orientation, we should ALL have the right to serve God."
She says she stands by those words today, no matter what Kandi thinks.

Kandi Burruss Porsha Is a Self-Hating Hypocrite On LGBTQ Issues
Kandi Burruss isn't gonna lay down for Porsha Williams attacking her over her sexuality and, in fact, says Porsha's throwing stones from her own lesbian glass house.
Kandi was at LAX when we asked her about last week's bombshell 'RHOA' episode -- Porsha accused her of having a long-term lesbian relationship ... and she revealed Porsha had hit on her in the past.
But KB says the real crime here is the infamous video of Porsha condemning gays years ago during a church sermon. As she sees it -- Porsha's guilty of some serious hypocrisy, and she owes the LGBTQ community an apology.

Floyd Mayweather Hey, Conor McGregor ... I'm In L.A. Now, Too!
Floyd Mayweather wants everyone to know he's here in L.A. -- which is interesting ... since Conor McGregor is, too.
The boxing legend hit up Catch in West Hollywood Wednesday night -- the hottest restaurant in town where Floyd KNOWS the paparazzi would go crazy for him. He was right ... it was madness.
What's interesting is Conor is also in town -- we saw him in Bev Hills the other day and he's been posting photos all over town ever since.
Last time they were in the same city (Vegas), Conor declared it his own and mocked Floyd for refusing to sit down with him.
Will things change in L.A.? Stay tuned ...

Joey Porter Bar Arrest Security Footage Released ... Scary but NOT Violent
Joey Porter DEFINITELY got up close and angry with a bouncer before his Pittsburgh arrest -- but he did NOT rough the guy up ... and new security footage proves it.
Officials have finally released the video evidence in the case against the Pittsburgh Steelers assistant coach ... and while he certainly gets mad at the bouncer for not letting him in, we sure as hell don't see an assault.
Porter was initially charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and public intoxication ... but eventually pled guilty to JUST disorderly conduct.
He paid a fine ... and that's it.

UFC Fighter KOs Ronda Rousey's Boyfriend ... Tries to Steal His Girl
Tough night for Ronda Rousey's boyfriend -- first he gets the snot kicked out of him at UFC Fight Night 105 ... then his opponent hollers at Ronda right in the center of the Octagon!!!
Derrick Lewis beat Travis Browne so badly Sunday night the guy was transported to the hospital immediately following the fight ... but Derrick really went in on the guy in the post-fight interview.
First, he referenced the 2015 domestic violence investigation into Browne (we should note Browne was never charged with a crime) ... and then he called out Ronda.
Judging from the past, Browne isn't one to go quietly ... so we're guessing we haven't heard the last of this one.

NFL's Emmanuel Sanders Blew A FORTUNE On Sidechicks ... Furious Wife Claims
The estranged wife of Denver Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders has declared WAR on the NFL star -- claiming he lied, cheated and spent THOUSANDS on chicks he was banging on the side.
It's all in ANGRY court docs filed by Gabriella Sanders -- who blasts the father of her 2 children with a metaphorical bazooka right from the get go.
"When he's not playing football on the field, he 'plays the field' with numerous women whom he is or has committed adultery."
Gabby lays out multiple marital "atrocities" allegedly committed by her husband -- and claims he spent "thousands upon thousands of dollars on girlfriends and wasting the community estate, even purchasing a vehicle for one of his illicit affairs."
The allegations are strikingly similar to those of Shelly Sterling -- who claimed her husband Donald Sterling had no right to give $2.6 mil in gifts to V. Stiviano. She sued V and won. V was ordered to reimburse the Sterling estate.
Gabby filed for divorce from Sanders back in October and in the new court docs filed in Texas she says there is ZERO chance of a reconciliation.
Emmanuel signed a $33 mil extension with the Broncos back in Sept. -- with $27 mil fully guaranteed.
But there's more ...
Gabby also claims Emmanuel lied to the Broncos -- claiming he told the team he needed to miss a practice in Nov. so he could be in Houston for the birth of their child ... which was a a lie so he could go out partying.
We reached out to Emmanuel's camp for comment -- so far, no word back.

Lil Wayne Dwarfs Birdman's Cash Money Party With LeBron's Assist!!!
Lil Wayne can't lose when he's got LeBron James on his team -- even when he's squaring off with Birdman.
Wayne got a bunch of Cash Money artists --technically Birdman's artists -- to flock to his NBA All-Star weekend shindig Saturday in New Orleans to celebrate Cash Money Records' 20th anniversary ... leaving Birdman's party relatively empty.
Weezy even reunited with Juvenille, and Turk for a Hot Boys performance ... intro'd by LeBron.
Other celeb guests included DJ Khaled, Meek Mill, 2 Chainz, 21 Savage and (almost) Future -- who got bounced for bringing more than 30 people to the joint when it was already at full capacity.
As we reported ... Wayne and Birdman had planned separate parties in NOLA this weekend, with no plans to cross paths.
Looks like Wayne walked away with a W here. The war continues ...

Selena Gomez Sick of Being Defined by Boyfriends
Selena Gomez thinks Justin Bieber needs to move on from his obsession with her, and she's vowing never to get lost in the shadow of another relationship ... so say people close to her.
We're told Selena isn't angry at Justin for attacking her new BF, The Weeknd ... we're told she has no connection anymore with her ex.
That said, our Selena sources say she's fed up with everyone on social media trying to define her by the guy she's dating. She's proud of her accomplishments as a singer, and thinks every time she hooks up with someone people ignore her as an artist, a TV producer for a new show, the face of Coach and the most followed person on Instagram.
Selena's already taken steps to keep her identity separate from her boyfriends. She didn't attend last week's Grammys with The Weeknd and is very conscious when she's with him to present herself as her own person.
Speaking of The Weeknd, we're told he's laughing at reports his new song, "Some Way," is a rant against Bieber, taunting him with the relationship with his ex. We're told the song was written before he started dating Selena, so the stories are ridiculous.

Draymond Green Backtracks On 'Slave Master' Dig 'Can't Say Dolan's Racist'
Draymond Green says he never meant to imply Knicks owner James Dolan was a racist with his "slave master mentality" comments ... saying he describing the mindset, and not the man.
Green caused a racial firestorm earlier this week when he used the term "slave master mentality" to describe Dolan's attitude and treatment of Knicks great Charles Oakley.
The backlash from the comments was severe ... with people saying Draymond had no right to inject race into what seemed to be a case of just two guys not liking each other.
Now, Green is backing way off his comments ... addressing the controversy on an ESPN radio show and saying his comments weren't taken in the right way.
"I never said James Dolan has a slave master mentality. I said when you look at something and someone is doing something for someone and all of a sudden they can't anymore, that falls under the slave mentality."
Green went on to add he never said Dolan wasn't a racist, and doesn't know if Dolan is a racist, because he doesn't know Dolan.
"I can't say James Dolan is a racist. I don't know James Dolan. Honestly, if he walked past me right now, I wouldn't know who he is."
