Nashville police responded to a domestic disturbance call around 9 PM Thursday night. When they arrived, cops say Dunlap was inside of his girlfriend's house ... a no-no 'cause of a protective order that says King CANNOT have contact with his girlfriend.

He's scheduled to appear in court on March 7.

Draymond Green says he never meant to imply Knicks owner James Dolan was a racist with his "slave master mentality" comments ... saying he describing the mindset, and not the man.

Green caused a racial firestorm earlier this week when he used the term "slave master mentality" to describe Dolan's attitude and treatment of Knicks great Charles Oakley.

The backlash from the comments was severe ... with people saying Draymond had no right to inject race into what seemed to be a case of just two guys not liking each other.

Now, Green is backing way off his comments ... addressing the controversy on an ESPN radio show and saying his comments weren't taken in the right way.

"I never said James Dolan has a slave master mentality. I said when you look at something and someone is doing something for someone and all of a sudden they can't anymore, that falls under the slave mentality."

Green went on to add he never said Dolan wasn't a racist, and doesn't know if Dolan is a racist, because he doesn't know Dolan.

Our Cash Money sources say they'll both be showing love for their label, but Wayne's done way too much trash-talking to share a stage with Birdman.

Drama ... like any family reunion.

Darrelle Revis' attorney is spelling out the NFL star's side of the violent incident in Pittsburgh -- claiming he was attacked by a drunk guy who was flexing his "beer muscles."

TMZ Sports spoke with Blaine Jones who says Revis did everything in his power to DIFFUSE a bizarre and aggressive situation before things turned violent on Sunday morning.

Jones says Revis was in fear for his own safety -- and thought the other man may have even been carrying a weapon -- and only did what he needed to do to protect himself.

Jones says Revis suffered injuries in the melee and sought medical attention.

Darrelle Revis is about to be hit with some VERY serious criminal charges including robbery, terroristic threats, conspiracy and aggravated assault ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Vince Young straight threw in the towel during his '16 drunk driving arrest -- refusing to complete field sobriety tests after getting frustrated with the cop ... and ultimately saying, "Are we going to jail or not?"

TMZ Sports obtained the arrest video from January 24, 2016 which shows Young being pulled over in Austin, Texas, after the officer says he was driving erratically in his white truck.

Young starts off being nice and cooperative ... but gets increasingly frustrated with the DWI investigation process.

He refuses to get out of his car until the officer orders him out.

He gets sick of the eye test and tells the officer he won't comply.

At one point he says, "What's the problem? Are we going to jail or not?"

The officer finally gets fed up when Young refuses a breath test and arrests the ex-NFL star.

NY Jets star Darrelle Revis was involved in a violent altercation in Pittsburgh over the weekend -- but there seems to be a big dispute over what really went down.

Jones is adamant Revis is the victim.

But here's where things get weird ... WTAE in Pittsburgh says Revis is the one under investigation for the incident -- with sources claiming he and his group were the aggressors and men in the other group suffered serious injuries.

WTAE says their sources claim Revis is expected to be hit with FELONY criminal charges any minute.

We spoke with the Jets -- they're aware of the situation and have spoken with Darrelle.
