Draymond Green's Mom Heated Exchange with Cavs Fan ... Cops Involved

Published | Updated

9:33 AM PT -- Draymond's mom says she made peace with the Cavs fan.

"Everyone apologized so it's all good," she tweeted.

"If they would watch the game and enjoy it instead of worshipping it. They would be fine!"

More mama drama at Game 3 ... this time, it was Draymond Green's mother who was in the middle of a hostile situation with a Cavs fan -- and security rushed in to break it up.

It all went down right after the game ended -- you can see Mary Babers in the Golden State Warriors jacket getting into it with the Cavs fan.

Unclear what was said to set the whole thing off ... but things got heated and there was some shoving. You can see Cleveland PD officers who were working the event got involved and broke it up.

You never see Mary get physical. You do see fans holding her back.

No arrests were made. We reached out to Draymond's camp for comment. So far, no word back.

Enes Kanter's Father Reportedly Released From Custody In Turkey

Published | Updated

The father of OKC Thunder star Enes Kanter has been released from custody in Turkey and has been placed under government supervision ... according to Turkish reports.

Just last week, Enes tweeted out that his dad, Mehmet Kanter, was arrested by government officials during a raid on their family home in Istanbul. He believed Mehmet was singled out because of the NBA star's public criticism of Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

According to local reports, Mehmet -- a college professor -- spent 5 days in custody. Per the terms of his release, Mehmet must habitually check in with a local police station.

Enes himself is a wanted man in Turkey after the government accused him of being a member of an armed anti-government terrorist organization.

NOT A GOOD LOOK

How does a former Lakers player feel about Jeanie Buss' boyfriend, Jay Mohr, dropping the n-word?

"It's not a good look."

That's what ex-L.A. Lakers player Roy Hibbert told us at LAX Wednesday .

As we previously reported, Jay Mohr used the word twice on Twitter Tuesday and has been catching heat for it. He has not apologized or backed off one bit.

Buss and Mohr have been quietly dating for months. We recently saw the two traveling together at LAX.

So far, Buss hasn't commented on the situation ... but you gotta wonder if the Lakers staff and players are expecting some sort of response. Especially after LeBron James talked publicly about how offensive the word is in the wake of racist vandalism at his L.A. home.

THE FUTURE IS GOLDEN

Don't get the brooms outta the closet just yet! At least one NBA star thinks the Cavs can win a game against the dominating Warriors in the NBA Finals.

Ty Lawson was out in Hollywood Tuesday night when we asked about LeBron James being down 0-2 to Steph Curry and Kevin Durant ... and although the Kings PG predicts GSW will take home the title, he says it won't be a cakewalk.

It's been a tough start for the Cavs so far -- losing Game 1 and 2 by a total of 41 points -- but at least there's hope.

Kinda.

Gucci Mane and his fiancee, Keyshia Ka'oir, are about to get what every soon-to-be married couple wants -- a whole lotta cash for their wedding.

The rapper and his longtime girl landed a $650k contract with BET for a reality show leading up to their nuptials -- $400k for him and $250k for her ... according to sources close to the deal. We're told the network will also cover the cost of their wedding ... which will be around $1 million!

The TV series will document the lives of Gucci and Keyshia leading up to the nuptials October 17. It's slated for 8 episodes and will feature bachelor and bachelorette parties. Filming begins in a few weeks.

Our sources say VH1 was the front-runner to nab the show, but BET swooped in with a much better offer. We're told the plan is for the wedding to go down in Miami ... with around 200 guests.

You may recall ... Mane proposed to Ka'oir on the kiss cam at an Atlanta Hawks game, so it's clear they don't mind the public attention.

LeBron James Defended By Emmett Till's Family ... Name Drop Was OK By Us

Published | Updated

LeBron James wasn't wrong in invoking Emmett Till's name when discussing racist vandalism at his home, so says Till's cousin who told TMZ Sports she doesn't get the criticism of the King.

James used Till's name during a news conference where he addressed the incident, comparing his public discussion of the crime to Till's mother using an open casket to show the world her son's battered body.

The comparison immediately drew the ire of those who said LeBron had no right likening his situation to one of the most horrific incidences of racial violence ever.

We spoke to Deborah Watts, Till's cousin and co-founder of the Emmett Till Legacy Foundation, and she told us she has no issue with LeBron's choice of words.

"I don't understand the criticism. What he did in using his platform was very, very powerful, and I really appreciate his courage."

Watts went on to clarify very strongly that while LeBron's incident was nowhere near the level of Till's, it warranted a strong public response ... especially now.

"Is it lynching the way Emmett was murdered and killed? No. Was it a part of an environment that created an opportune time for people to feel like they could do it? Yes."

LeBron James Snatches Kobe's Sole ... for Cavs Practice

LeBron James is turning to Kobe Bryant for a little help in the NBA Finals -- rockin' the Mamba's signature Nike shoes in preparation for Game 3.

King James showed up to Cavs practice at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland wearing the Barcelona Kobe 11s instead of his own signature Nikes.

No word on why Bron picked the sneakers -- maybe hoping Kobe's playoff swag rubs off on him.

Hey, at this point ... try anything, right?!

Hailey Baldwin Bikini Sunbathing ... With NBA Star

Published | Updated

NBA star Chandler Parsons continues to surround himself with some of the hottest women in Hollywood -- this time, he was out sunbathing in L.A. with model Hailey Baldwin.

The two caught some rays at the pool at the Montage in Beverly Hills -- and we're told the poolside tourists couldn't take their eyes off 'em ... probably due to the fact he's 6'10" and she looks insane in a bikini.

So, let's get to the point -- are they banging? Our sources say no -- they're just good friends who've known each other for a while and hang out when they're in the same city.

LEGENDS COLLIDE

Here's some GREAT footage of soccer superstar Neymar in a V.I.P. meeting with Kevin Durant and Draymond Green after the Warriors beat down the Cavs on Sunday.

The Brazilian soccer superstar -- considered one of top players in the world -- touched down in L.A. last week and has been hanging with Odell Beckham Jr. all weekend.

They decided to take in some hoops ... and, of course, sat right on the floor.

We're guessing Neymar wanted to meet LeBron James, too ... but he probably wasn't in a great mood.

Derek Fisher Crashes Car, Arrested for DUI ... Video Shows Wreckage

CRASH AFTERMATH

3:06 PM PT -- A rep for Derek and Gloria tells TMZ Sports ... "On behalf of Derek Fisher and Gloria Govan, they would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. They are beyond grateful that they are both okay and that no one else was involved. Both Derek and Gloria are home and ask that you respect their privacy."

Derek Fisher was arrested on suspicion of DUI Sunday after crashing his car on the 101 Freeway following a night out at Catch in West Hollywood ... and the wreckage looks gnarly.

Derek's Cadillac flipped over just after 3 AM PT Sunday as he was heading northbound on the Ventura 101 Freeway. His passenger was "Basketball Wives" star Gloria Govan. Neither Derek nor Gloria were injured.

Derek was then arrested and jailed after it was determined he'd been drinking. The car wreck could have been deadly from how badly the car had flipped ... based on video obtained by TMZ Sports.

CHP officials say Derek veered into the paved right shoulder of the 101 just east of the 405 interchange. He collided with the raised concrete curb and guardrail, which flipped his car over once. Luckily, the crash left both Derek and Gloria unscathed.

We got Derek Saturday night leaving Catch at 11:45 PM, but he crashed at 3 AM. He apparently picked up Gloria after dinner, because she wasn't at Catch. He and Gloria have been an open couple since March.
