Los Angeles Lakers

Nick Young is fiercely trying to save his relationship with Iggy Azalea ... with multiple sources telling us it's hanging by a thread.

We're told by people very close to the couple that both Iggy and Nick are pissed about the D'Angelo Russell video ... in which Nick apparently admits to cheating on Iggy over the summer.

Our sources say the engagement is in jeopardy -- and Nick and Iggy are "not on good terms."

Sources close to Nick tell us he's crushed -- telling people he's madly in love with Iggy and is focusing on trying to repair their relationship.

As for the video ... multiple sources tell us it was shot MONTHS ago.

We're told everyone involved believes the video was obtained and leaked by a 3rd party -- not Russell.

That being said, we're told the tension between D.R. and Young is thick -- but a Lakers honcho is planning to sit them down to hash this thing out man to man as soon as possible.

The Lakers want them to bury the hatchet so they can move forward.

And then there's this ... we're told Nick has already contacted his lawyers to weigh his legal options -- but it's unclear if he's planning to go after D'Angelo or whoever posted the video.

Former "Basketball Wives" star Laura Govan knows how NBA locker rooms work -- she was with Gilbert Arenas for years -- and tells TMZ Sports D'Angelo Russell may NEVER be able to recover from the Nick Young video scandal.

"There's a lot of shade in the NBA," Govan says, "These n**gas are f*cked up. I know first hand."

Check out the clip ... Govan says there's a STRONG bond between teammates at the NBA level, and if you violate that trust, "it's hard to recover from that."

Sidenote -- Govan says she's back on speaking terms with Arenas ... which is HUUUGE considering they've been at WAR with each other ever since they broke up last year.

Someone called the cops exactly one minute before tip off at a Lakers/Clippers game to inform them terrorists were in the crowd with bombs and guns and their mission was to kill in the name of Jihad.

TMZ has obtained an LAPD search warrant chronicling a chilling phone call received by an LAPD officer at 7:29 PM on January 29, 2016. According to the warrant, a "robotic voice" stated the following: "Several people in the crowd seated strategically have explosives strapped to their chest and explosives in their shoes."

The voice went on to say, "Some of them are also strapped with Glock 18, have guns and will shoot any patron that may come in their path. We are doing this for Allah and for Jihad. We are going to slaughter the patrons of tonight's Lakers/Clippers game and there is no one that can stop us."

The caller wasn't done ... "We have people hostage in some of the bathrooms already and we shot one in the knee cap. You are all going to f***** die tonight, you filthy Americans."

According to the warrant, the police believe the call came from a Skype line and the culprit used a robotic voice to mask his/her identity.

The cops got a search warrant to force Skype to hand over the account information connected to the number.

Now this is a story all about how ... the new Kobe Bryant bobblehead looks more like Will Smith than Mamba!!

For the 2nd time this season, the Lakers have swung and missed on Kobe bobblehead night at the Staples Center.

Remember, earlier this month they released the 1st bobblehead in a 3 piece set -- and it looked more like Danny Glover from "Lethal Weapon."

Yo homes, smell ya later.

We asked Iggy Azalea if the woman behind the sexual harassment allegations against her fiance Nick Young is fabricating her story.

Iggy's answer -- yes.

For the record, the Lakers said in a statement Tuesday they "believe" Nick -- who is clearly disputing Alexis Jones ... the woman who says Young and Jordan Clarkson sexually harassed her and her mother on Sunday.

The Lakers say they believe their players in an alleged sexual harassment incident -- this after Nick Young accused the woman of making the whole thing up.

The woman at the center of the controversy is Alexis Jones -- a women's rights activist who claimed Nick Young and Jordan Clarkson pulled up next to her in a Jeep on Sunday and yelled and made vulgar gestures toward her and her mom. She posted pics from the incident on social media.

Young fired back essentially saying Jones is lying -- "If you want some attention take a pic of me and say anything next to it and post ... The world we live in."

Now, Lakers spokesman John Black says the team has investigated -- and "support Nick and Jordan and believe what they told us about the incidents and their actions."

Black says the team has spoken to Jones as well -- and "based on these conversations, our conclusion is that there are different interpretations of what happened."

"We support Nick and Jordan and believe what they told us about the incidents and their actions. We also are supportive of Alexis and her feelings about what happened, about women’s rights, and of the fine work Alexis is doing with her organization."

"I had several conversations with Alexis and her publicist, and tried to arrange a meeting between her, Nick and Jordan. Unfortunately, Alexis’s schedule didn’t allow for this to happen yesterday."

Just when we thought it had gone away forever ... here's Cam Newton bringing back the Pharrell hat at the Lakers game Thursday night.

Sucks to be the guy who had to sit behind him.

BTW, Cam's hat got Kobe's attention ... Mamba gave him some love during the game.

And according to FOX 11 reporter Liz Habib ... when they put Newton on the big screen -- he dabbed.

L.A. Rams running back Todd Gurley has a decision to make ... a decision central to living and working in the city of Los Angeles ... one that will affect everyone he meets and everything he knows.

Lakers fan or Clippers fan?

BTW -- Todd let us know he's TOTALLY down for a bribe ... and whichever franchise ponies up the best graft for the new sports superstar of L.A. has the best shot at getting his fandom.

This is the bobblehead Lakers fans got Tuesday night for Kobe Bryant bobblehead night ... problem is, THAT'S NOT KOBE BRYANT!!

According to the box, the image is supposed to be based off the famous photo of Kobe holding up his #8 jersey the day he was announced to the team.

But take one look at the doll ... that ain't no 18-year-old kid -- dude looks more like a 40-year-old man (still not Kobe) rockin' a thick 1980s Danny Glover "Lethal Weapon" mustache.

This could be a lot of people ... but it sure as hell ain't Mamba.

Lakers star Nick Young was pulled over in Hollywood Monday night -- after cops say he was bumping his music too loud in a rental car ... TMZ Sports has learned.

But during the stop, Young claims the cops took a cheap shot at the Lakers ... though, it's not like they lied.

Here's what we know ... cops say Young was going down the street playing his music too loud -- and didn't have license plates on the car.

He was pulled over by a police vehicle -- and we're told another unit that happened to be close by saw the stop and went over as backup.

Law enforcement tells TMZ Sports Young was cited and went along his way without incident -- but Young claims the didn't leave without taking a parting shot at his team.

"After everything was over one of them (police) going to say (y'all suck) so I replied back like it ain't lookin to good for y'all neither."

Former L.A. Lakers player Samaki Walker is adamant he did NOT attack his girlfriend in a motel parking lot last week ... though his accuser says Walker was violent and is lying through his teeth.

Here's what we know ... both Walker and his accuser Unique Allen (who gave us permission to use her name) had an altercation at a motel in Encino, CA early Thursday morning.

Allen tells TMZ Sports ... the argument (which started in their room) moved to the parking lot -- but when the two got inside Samaki's Range Rover, he struck her several times in the jaw and arm.

Allen says Walker also choked her. Allen sent us a photo showing what she claims is bruising on her arm.

Cops were called to the scene regarding a fight between a man and a woman in an SUV -- but the two were gone by the time cops arrived.

40-year-old Walker tells us he absolutely did NOT strike Allen during the dispute -- and says she was the aggressor ... hitting him multiple times though he swears he did not strike back.

Allen has NOT filed a police report, but says she is still considering her legal options.

There was one guy unimpressed with Kobe Bryant popping his finger back in place and playing an NBA game ... Rick Fox ... who says a dislocated finger is cake compared to Mamba's other injuries.

Fox was at LAX (guy flies more than Superman) when we asked about Bryant's latest feat of superhuman pain tolerance ... finishing a game against the Spurs after dislocating his finger.

Check out the clip -- Rick seems only mildly impressed ... and reminds the entire world that KOBE PLAYED BASKETBALL WITH A TORN ACHILLES TENDON.

Anyone hoping for a Kobe comeback after his farewell tour is over brace yourself ... 'cause current Warriors -- and former Lakers GM Jerry West says IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.

Jerry was arriving into LAX when we had to ask whether he thought there was any chance Mamba could pull a Jordan ... and come back after a couple years away from the NBA.

West is a guy who'd know ... he's the dude who made the move to get Bryant in purple and gold in the first place and the two have remained close friends even after West left L.A.

Check out the clip -- Logo throws cold water all over anyone wishing for an encore ... saying as far as he knows Bryant will NEVER play another NBA minute.

NHL God Luc Robitaille says the people designing Shaq's Staples Center statue are no dummies -- 'cause if you're gonna immortalize the Diesel ... it should be dunks and NOT free throws.

We got Luc out at LAX asked about Shaq joining Magic, Kareem, Wayne Gretzky and Oscar De La Hoya with a statue outside of Staples Center.

Luc's the perfect guy to ask ... 'CAUSE HE FREAKIN' HAS A STATUE TOO ... from his time of being Wayne's right hand man with the L.A. Kings.

Floyd Mayweather doesn't wait in line ... not even at the Lakers game ... even if that line contains a hugely famous actor!!

Check out this footage from Staples Center Tuesday night ... when Floyd and his massive entourage arrived to the arena and beelined it to the front of the VIP area ... jumping ahead of a bunch of people waiting to get in, including Andy Garcia.

Don't worry ... Andy was cool about the whole thing.

Kobe Bryant sucker punched a former teammate in the face -- over $100 -- back in 2002 ... and it almost caused a nuclear war between the players ... this according to the punchee, Samaki Walker.

Walker -- who played on the Lakers from 2001 to 2003 -- appeared on Brown and Scoop on CBS Radio's Play.It and detailed the entire incident ... saying Bryant struck him on the team bus in an effort to collect a gambling debt.

Walker says Kobe had won a half-court shot game the team often played -- where everyone throws a $100 in the pot -- and the person who hits the shot collects.

Walker told Brandon "Scoop B" Robinson and Jake Brown that Kobe confronted him on the team bus and hit him up for the cash ... and when Walker told him he'd pay him later, Kobe unleashed the fist.

“It was a sucker punch. Right to the face," Walker said ... "Out of nowhere. I’m sitting down on the bus and I said this man is crazy."

Eventually, Walker says Shaq's bodyguard, Jerome, got Kobe to apologize ... but it's clear, he's still pissed about it.

We reached out to Kobe's rep and the Lakers for comment -- so far, no word back. But we'll update as soon as we hear.
