Robert Horry Punches Thrown At Basketball Tourney
8/8/17
Robert Horry got in a fistfight at his kid's basketball tournament this weekend ... and TMZ Sports has the video.
It all went down Saturday afternoon at the Nike 3ON3 tournament at L.A. Live ... where Horry's son was playing.
Witnesses tell us a man affiliated with the opposing team was heckling Horry throughout the game when he approached R.H. and pushed him.
Horry responded with his fists ... throwing several punches at the man. It's unclear if any of the punches landed.
We spoke to Horry who insists he was simply defending himself.
"The guy was trash talking the whole game. He shoved me. Where I'm from, you protect yourself."
R.H. -- a 7x NBA champion -- says he ultimately decided to walk away rather than continue to fight, knowing he was "the only one who was gonna lose in this situation."
Horry claims this isn't the first time the guy has been verbally abusive ... saying he's trash talked his son's team in the past.
A rep for the tournament had no comment on the incident.

Donnell Rawlings allegedly popped a dude in the face ... and now cops are on the case.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... 20-year-old Thurston Greer claims at 2:30 AM Friday Rawlings socked him in the noggin with a closed fist outside a NYC hotel, resulting in pain, swelling and scratches on his arms.
Greer tells us he ran into Dave Chappelle walking out of the hotel bathroom and asked for a pic ... but Dave declined. Greer claims he then went outside the hotel and began recording a Facebook Live video to tell friends what had just gone down. He says Donnell, Chappelle and a security guard walked out of the hotel, saw him and got angry, thinking he was persisting to get a photo.
Greer says he scuffled with Rawlings and security after they tried taking his phone, and that's when he got punched.
Chappelle's not listed in the police report, but cops want to talk to Donnell. Greer tells us he's already met with an attorney and is considering legal options.
A source connected to Donnell says Greer was extremely intrusive, trying to take pics of them while they were in the bathroom. The source says Donnell never punched the guy ... he took a swing, missed and fell to the ground. The source adds Greer was "aggressive" and determined to get photos to post on social media.

Floyd Mayweather's Ex Blasts McGregor Dom. Violence Is Not a Joke
Floyd Mayweather's ex-GF is FURIOUS at Conor McGregor over a "trolling" stunt that mocked her domestic violence incident with Floyd ... saying he's shamelessly profiting from her pain.
The woman is Josie Harris -- who Floyd was convicted of attacking during a 2010 domestic violence incident at the boxer's Vegas home in front of their 3 kids. Mayweather spent 2 months behind bars for the attack.
McGregor "trolled" Floyd over the incident last week by wearing an NBA jersey of C.J. Watson -- the man Floyd accused Josie of secretly texting in 2010, which led to the violent altercation.
Josie wasn't laughing when she saw Conor's stunt -- and claims CM's doing nothing more than exploiting her trauma to promote his superfight with Floyd next month.
"[The stunt] demonstrates not only an insensitivity toward the emotional wellbeing and privacy of the victim of Mayweather’s dom. violence, but also a general disregard for the physical and emotional trauma and long-lasting psychological impacts suffered by victims of dom. abuse," Josie's attorney, Dan Friedlander, tells TMZ Sports.
"On behalf of Josie Harris, her and Mayweather’s three children, and all victims of domestic violence, we ask that Conor McGregor refrain from capitalizing off of the trauma suffered by her and other victims of domestic abuse."

Dante Fowler Apologizes for Alleged Attack 'I'm a Better Person Than That'
On Tuesday, Jacksonville Jaguars star Dante Fowler pled not guilty to attacking a man in a brutal parking lot incident.
On Wednesday Fowler was apologizing for the incident and saying it won't happen again.
As we previously reported, the 2015 1st round pick was arrested on July 18 in Florida for allegedly punching a man in the face during an altercation in the parking lot of an apartment complex.
He was charged with battery and criminal mischief -- but later pled not guilty to the charges.
Fast-forward to Wednesday, when Fowler took the stage at a Jaguars media event and apologized to the team, the fans and the city of Jacksonville for "for my actions, for what happened, what went down."
He added, "I just wanna let people know and everybody know that's not me as a person. I'm a better person than that, and it won't happen again."
Fowler's apology isn't exactly an admission of guilt -- but he clearly feels he screwed up in some capacity. Sounds like someone who's hoping to cut a plea deal instead of digging in for a trial.

Ronnie from 'Jersey Shore' Medic, Please! VIP Scuffle Cut Me Deep
Ronnie Magro from 'Jersey Shore' needed stitches to repair his sliced and bloodied hand after a rough night in a Las Vegas club.
TMZ obtained a shot of Ronnie's messed up left mitt -- he walked away from the fight with what looks like 5 lacerations. As we first reported ... Ronnie sustained the injuries early Friday morning in Tao Las Vegas.
Sources connected to Ronnie say he was in VIP when a crowd spilled into the area around him ... and as he tried to shield her, someone threw a bottle or glass which shattered on his hand. A rep for Tao tells a slightly different story -- saying there were no other individuals involved, and Ronnie just accidentally broke a bottle in his hand.
Either way, Ronnie didn't realize he was cut -- booze numbs, after all -- until his gf pointed out he was bleeding on her. Security at TAO gave him a few bandages and suggested he get stitches.
He initially blew off that advice, but we're told Ronnie gave in Friday afternoon and got stitches.

Ronnie from 'Jersey Shore' Bloody Mess in Vegas
12:25 PM PT -- A rep for Ronnie says he was at TAO when a fight broke out. He wasn't involved, but it got outta control ... and he was attempting to cover his gf when someone threw a bottle or glass. We're told it shattered on Ronnie's hand, and that's the reason for all the blood ... on both of them.
TAO has a slightly different version of events -- its rep says no one else was involved in the incident, and claims Ronnie simply broke a bottle he was holding. The club also says an on-site EMT treated Ronnie.
We'd say no blood, no foul but ...
Ronnie from "Jersey Shore" had some kind of bloody encounter in Vegas early Friday morning, and his girlfriend was clearly none too pleased.
An eyewitness who took this photo tells TMZ he saw Ronnie and the woman at around 1:15 AM coming out of a bathroom at The Venetian hotel and casino. He says Ronnie was soaked in blood with a plastic bag wrapped around his left hand.
The woman was also covered in blood, although the eyewitness says it appeared to him the blood was not the result of a fight between the 2 of them. It also seemed she was uninjured.
We're told security was flanking Ronnie and escorted him to an exit. It's unclear if security was trying to protect him or throw him out of the hotel.
We reached out to Ronnie and his rep ... so far no word back.
