Perfect case of adding insult to injury on Thursday -- Jazz Chisholm Jr. took a foul ball to the family jewels during the Yankees' loss to the White Sox ... and while he was in a world of pain, his teammates certainly got a kick out of it.

The unfortunate incident went down during the fourth inning ... when the second baseman made contact with a pitch -- but it bounced off the dirt and went right for his crotch.

Chisholm fell to the ground as he winced ... and didn't get up for several minutes.

USA and Australia are about to duke it out in the World Cup ... and ya know who's shaking in his Chelsea boots?! TMZ DC's Charlie Cotton -- 'cause he's making a wager with Senator Tim Kaine!!

Cotton -- who is Australian A.F. -- ran into Hillary Clinton's former running mate on Capitol Hill Thursday afternoon ... and mentioned how they're enemies as soon as the two countries kick-off in Seattle.

Kaine -- clearly rooting for the home team -- suggested the two take part in a beer bet (Foster's and Samuel Adams, obviously) ... but Cotton threw a ton of alternatives in his direction, and he shut down each and every single one.

Floyd Mayweather is being sued by a boxing promoter who claims they paid the legendary pugilist $4.65 million in advance money for mega fights against Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquiao ... only for Floyd to walk away from the deals.

According to the explosive lawsuit filed Thursday in New York and obtained by TMZ Sports, CSI Entertainment claims they paid millions for exclusive rights for two major Mayweather bouts.

The first, they say, was for an exhibition fight vs. Iron Mike ... followed by a rematch with Manny, where Floyd would be risking his unblemished 50-0 undefeated record.

New York Knicks fans are so excited celebrating their first championship in 53 years, even getting pantsed in the street ain't gonna ruin the vibes ... and for proof, look no further than this wild scene from the parade!

Video is going viral online, capturing a moment straight out of Studio 54 back in the day ... it all begins with one Knicks fan ripping another off a streetlight and throwing her down to the ground.

The woman who got rag dolled quickly brushes off the WWE-style move ... running up and pulling the other woman's shorts down, revealing her basketball-shaped backside.

This is NYC, though -- no time for embarrassment in the Big Apple -- and the woman flaunts what she's got, twerking right in front of the other's face ... basically, dunking on her in the process.

Jalen Brunson heard all the chatter surrounding the New York Knicks this season ... but he got the last word at their championship rally on Thursday -- telling the crowd there's no need to address the haters!!!

The Knicks took the stage in front of City Hall minutes ago ... with several local politicians, head coach Mike Brown, and the Finals MVP getting time on the mic.

Brown set the vibes with yet another "Who Let The Dogs Out?" chant ... and when Brunson took over, he admitted he has tried several times to make coach stop.

Knicks fans waited 53 loooong years for a championship ... and they damn sure weren't letting anything (or anyone) block their view of the parade!

Millions of orange and blue lunatics flooded the Canyon of Heroes along Broadway in Lower Manhattan Thursday morning, turning the entire route into a real-life jungle gym, and TMZ Sports was on the ground.

We got videos showing hundreds of fans scaling street signs, lamp posts, traffic signals, and anything else they could to catch a quick peek of the Kings of New York as they were riding by on floats.

What they saw was a movie.

The biggest party of the year just went down in Lower Manhattan -- the New York Knicks held a parade down Broadway to celebrate their NBA Finals championship ... and it was wild!!

The fans were lined up for hours ... but that's nothing compared to the 53 years they had to wait to witness a Larry O'Brien trophy return to NYC. Officials said the area reached full capacity ... and that was hours before it was slated to start!!

The route went through the Canyon of Heroes all the way to City Hall, where the champs are expected to receive keys to the city.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is partying like a champion on Thursday ... joining the New York Knicks on their float for their NBA Finals parade -- and showing off his moves that would make Fat Joe proud!!

The mayor was spotted right next to Karl-Anthony Towns during the massive gathering in Lower Manhattan ... and when the cameras cut to the duo, they did their best "Lean Back" dance as the man himself performed the hit song.

It's par for the course for this celebration ... as there are plenty of notable names sprinkled through the festivities. On top of the familiar faces, there are so many fans in attendance that officials said the area was at full capacity hours before the parade was slated to start.

The New York Knicks' NBA Finals celebration is underway ... but one glaring error has folks buzzing more than the champions on the floats down Broadway.

City Hall is draped in banners honoring the members of the 2026 roster ... and bench player Dillon Jones' tribute includes his name with the number 33.

One problem -- Jones never wore those digits for the Knicks, as it was retired in honor of Patrick Ewing back in 2003. His number in New York is actually 1.

BLACKPINK's Jennie can sing AND swing -- the K-pop superstar has been putting in work on her golf game when she's not rocking the stage -- and the results are impressive!!

KPGA Tour pro Jang Jae-geun shared footage of their training on Thursday ... showing off some serious progress over the course of several sessions.

Check out the footage -- the two work through all the techniques in front of a simulator before taking it to a real golf course.

Could the White House go from jabs to jump shots?

Dan Hurley's certainly on board ... telling TMZ DC he'd love to have his UConn Huskies play on the South Lawn next after the recent UFC Freedom 250 extravaganza!!

Coach Hurley -- who attended the elaborate MMA event on Sunday and other UFC fights in the past -- lit up when Charlie Cotton pitched the idea of getting some college basketball at 1600 Penn next.

The Cleveland Cavaliers' 2016 NBA Finals team is having a ball across the pond ... and for those wondering why Kyrie Irving isn't on the trip, it appears J.R. Smith addressed the matter head-on.

LeBron James, Tristan Thompson, Kevin Love and more are in Europe to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of their iconic title run this week ... with golf being a big focal point of the gathering.

Plenty of fans have noted Kai's absence -- especially because he had such a crucial role on the team.

Jenny Simpson -- a bronze medal-winning Olympic track star -- collapsed during a race in North Carolina this week and needed CPR to restart her heart, according to officials, who say she's now being treated at a local hospital.

The terrifying incident occurred on Tuesday in Raleigh at a Pop Up Miles event -- a weekly meet-up for runners in the area -- when the 39-year-old suffered the medical emergency.

Simpson, who took home a bronze medal in the 1500-meter race in Rio in 2016, collapsed while running with a group of athletes ... and didn't initially have a pulse.

If not for a group of bystanders, as well as EMS, who rushed to the scene and provided CPR, the story may have had a very different ending.

Jordyn Woods is reaping the benefits of the New York Knicks' championship run -- her accessory company announced the "lucky bag" she brought to every game is completely sold out due to "unprecedented demand."

Woods was superstitious while supporting her fiancé, Karl-Anthony Towns, this postseason ... making sure her "orange ostrich" Woods By Jordyn brand Tux Clutch Mini complemented her Knicks-themed 'fits.

The $125 bag is now part of Knicks history ... and Knicks fans wanting to match KAT's lady will now have to wait until September to get their own luck, as the item is only available for preorder now.

Jose Alvarado seems down for a trip to President Trump's White House -- the newly crowned champion tells TMZ Sports if that's what the Knicks want to do, he'll be there too!!

We caught up with the 28-year-old guard leaving the iHeart studios in NYC just days after his squad secured an NBA Finals victory over the San Antonio Spurs ... and asked how he felt about the longtime tradition of visiting 1600 Penn.

"If there's a chance, I'm going wherever my teammate goes," Alvarado said.

LeBron James is back with the Cleveland Cavaliers -- at least for a few days -- as the 2016 team reunited for a luxurious European vacation to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of their iconic NBA Finals victory.

The King, Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, Richard Jefferson, J.R. Smith, and Channing Frye linked up for some golf, wine, helicopter rides, and tomfoolery this week ... and it didn't take long for the guys to start cracking jokes at each other's expense.

There were "deez nuts" jabs, invasions of privacy during "pee pee" time ... and, naturally, some retirement body shaming from Love, who is still hooping in the league at 37 years old.

In one of his several Instagram Stories documenting the trip, Love set his sights on Frye ... claiming there's a new "big three" in Cleveland -- "chins, t***ies, gut."
