Detroit Pistons

It's not surprising Stevie Wonder is a Pistons fan ... dude is a Motown LEGEND ... but the reason why he likes the team is another head scratcher from the singer.

Brandon Jennings is throwing the last shovel of dirt on Meek Mill's rap grave, and insists Meek's got no one to blame but himself.

The Pistons star was leaving 1 OAK on the Sunset Strip and didn't hesitate when we brought up the Drake-Meek mess, saying ... "His career just got started, now it's done."

Of course, Brandon -- who just came back from OVO Fest -- got in the middle of the feud last week when he posted a pic of himself writing Meek a check for $150 to stop rapping.

Check it out ... BJ goes in even harder, but says there's still a slim chance MM can bounce back.

Sorry atheists ... NBA players who have a good relationship with God are more successful than NBA players who don't ... so says Detroit Pistons point guard Brandon Jennings.

Jennings was at LAX today when he told us religion plays a huge role in the NBA ... "Before every game we always have a little bible study ceremony ... any city you go to, so it's pretty cool."

That's not the case with every team -- Doc Rivers, in an effort to respect different beliefs, reportedly does not allow team prayer in the Clippers locker room ... though he does lead a moment of silence before games.

He's 52-years-old ... but Michael Jordan still strikes fear into the hearts of the NBA's young guns -- including Andre Drummond who says he thinks MJ could still ball him up in 1-on-1.

The Detroit Pistons star was at Gold's Gym in L.A. when we asked about a recent interview in which MJ said he could still beat any of the players on the Charlotte Hornets roster ... but doesn't want to "demolish their confidence."

So, we asked Andre -- who's 21-years-old and one of the best young stars in the league -- if HE thinks he could take the old man ... and he didn't exactly sound like the most confident guy.

Sorry Dr. Spock, you will get NO LOVE from NBA star Brandon Jennings ... who says he won't be reading "no damn baby books" while his GF is pregnant.

The Detroit Pistons point guard recently announced that his model girlfriend Tae Heckard is with child -- it'll be Brandon's 3rd kid ... but his 1st with Tae.

Jennings says he's SOLID when it comes to parenting -- he changes diapers, he warms the milk, everything -- which is why he doesn't need another crash course in being a dad.

But when it comes to predicting the sex, Jennings says he's 100% certain this one's a boy -- since he's already got 2.

So, will he ever have a girl? "I don't know. We'll see. If my next baby mama's with it."

Andre Drummond says he's 100% NOT dating famed escort Jenna Shea ... despite reports to the contrary ... telling TMZ Sports the rumors spiraled out of control after they posed for one innocent pic together.

FYI -- Shea is a legend in the escort world ... having been connected to all sorts of NBA stars, NFL stars and rappers ... and after pics surfaced with Drummond this week, there were rumblings they were hookin' up.

But the Detroit Pistons star tells TMZ Sports ... that's simply not the case -- "I'm not dating her. I was at a bowling alley and she took a picture with me and my friend."

Drummond says he knew who Shea was when she asked for the pic -- but says, "I just figured she wanted to take a picture."

For her part, Shea tells TMZ Sports Drummond is telling the truth -- adding, "He was a nice guy."

Pistons big man Andre Drummond believes in two things -- basketball and turning up -- and he's got hilarious video evidence to prove the two loves of his life can live in perfect harmony.

Andre just posted a video to Instagram showing him sinking a RIDICULOUS half court shot at the Pistons' facility then celebrating by two stepping to one of hottest club bangers in the country.

Check out clip -- The song, called "Club Going Up ... On A Tuesday" By ILoveMakkonen is clearly Drummond's jam, you can tell by the smile on his face when he jams to it.

Former NBA superstar Ben Wallace is currently behind bars in Virginia stemming from a hit-and-run incident in February.

The ex-Detroit Pistons tough guy had appeared in court Tuesday wheer he plead no contest to leaving the scene of a crash in Henrico County, VA on February 8th.

According to police, a vehicle registered to Wallace crashed through a fence outside of a home on a busy stretch of road and then fled the scene ... leaving his SUV unattended at the home.

12:55 PM PT -- We spoke to Andre who tells us, "I found [Jennette's comments] funny. There's a lot of false info in there, but I'll be the mature person about the situation and let it die out."

Andre also posted a Vine video moments ago that seems to be a response to the story in which he says, "Sometimes you gotta live and learn by the mistakes you make. You gotta move on and keep pushing."

"iCarly" star Jennette McCurdy is kissing and telling in a big way about her short-lived "relationship" with NBA star Andre Drummond ... and according to Jennette, the kissing part SUCKED.

McCurdy appeared on Pete Holmes' podcast "You Made It Weird" and spilled her guts about her fling with 20-year-old Drummond.

Jennette didn't pull punches -- admitting she only heard about the guy after he repeatedly chose her as his "Woman Crush Wednesday" on Twitter -- and eventually agreed to talk to Drummond because he "seemed like a big deal."

Jennette says they had some early conversations that "gave [her] pause" but she decided to go out on some dates with him anyway.

McCurdy then describes their first kiss -- which went down after a laser tag date -- saying, "It just didn't go great ... no sparks. The mouths ... the shapes weren't right."

Still, they continued to hang out, McCurdy says ... and he was so into her, he bought her a necklace and got down on his knees during a dinner date and asked her to be his GF.

Even though she wasn't into it, she said yes ... only to break up with him on the phone a few days later.

You gotta listen to the whole podcast ... McCurdy seems to be laughing at Drummond the entire time -- painting him as this pathetic, immature guy who doesn't have a clue about how to court a woman.

But the relationship did start as a public event on social media ... so, fair for Jennette to go public with all the gory breakup details too?

Discuss.

The celebrity relationship born on Twitter is still going strong for "iCarly" star Jennette McCurdy and Detroit Pistons star Andre Drummond ... 'cause last night the two went out for a romantic dinner in L.A. and TMZ has the footage.

In case you're unaware, 20-year-old Drummond revealed his longtime crush on 21-year-old McCurdy over the past couple of months during "Woman Crush Wednesdays" on Twitter ... posting several pics of the Nickelodeon star.

Once she got word of his interest, she reached out ... and the two hooked up in real life late last week.

Tuesday night ... it appeared their relationship was still going strong -- the two were spotted holding hands on their way out of Madeo in West Hollywood.

FYI -- Drummond ran the whole date in style ... using a driver to chauffeur the couple to and from the restaurant.

San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick may not have a Super Bowl ring, but he still managed to get one perk ... courtside seats at the Clippers game on Sunday.

The 25-year-old brought along a few of his burly pals to watch the Clippers destroy the Detroit Pistons, 129 -97.
