A piece of Kobe Bryant's legacy is no longer on the market ... the warm-up jacket he wore before his last-ever NBA game has just sold at auction -- and it netted the seller a small fortune!

TMZ Sports has learned ... the threads the Black Mamba donned just prior to dropping 60 points on the Utah Jazz back in April 2016 at the Staples Center racked up 35 bids -- and officially sold for $336,000.

The jacket -- which was photo-matched for authenticity -- had been up on the SCP Auctions block since mid-July.

Red Sox All-Star Jarren Duran has been suspended two games ... after he was caught on a hot mic hurling a homophobic slur at a fan during a game on Sunday.

Boston just announced the unpaid ban ... saying it consulted with the MLB before doling out the punishment.

The team added the salary that was owed to Duran for the two contests will now be donated to the Federation of Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays.

Amanda Saccomanno, "Mandy Rose" to millions of WWE fans, made her triumphant return over the weekend -- not to a wrestling ring -- but, to the stage ... competing in a bikini fitness competition after more than a decade away!

And, it's clear Mandy didn't miss a beat!

The 34-year-old wrestler participated in the 2024 WBFF Bikini World Championships in Miami, Florida ... showing off her ridiculously shredded body, which she sculpted into competition-ready form over 12 weeks of intense training.

Steph Curry wasn't the only American basketball star gettin' buckets this weekend ... DeMar DeRozan WENT OFF in the Drew League Championship, bringing home the title, and an MVP award!

The 2024 title game went down Sunday in front of hundreds of fans at the King/Drew Magnet High School of Medicine and Science in Los Angeles.

DeRozan and his team, the Mecca Cheaters, faced the Nationwide Souljas ... and won 114 to 113 in a nail-biting championship game.

What's crazy ... the MCs were down by 16 with only five minutes left ... but thanks to DeRozan's epic performance they made a furious comeback. DD finished with 54 points, 11 rebounds and three assists.

Jordan Chiles no longer has an Olympic bronze medal ... but she might have a sweet bronze clock to replace it -- courtesy of Flavor Flav!!!

Just hours after Chiles was stripped of the trophy that she won during the floor competition earlier this month at the Paris Games ... Flav hopped on to X to offer her a cool consolation prize.

The rapper -- who became one of the faces of this year's Olympics after he sponsored the USA women's water polo team -- promised on the social media app to make her a clock chain ... that would be "something NO ONE else has."

The Olympics may be over, but Noah Lyles is still catching heat ... after the U.S. track superstar was seen partying it up in Paris just days after his positive Covid-19 test.

But, Noah says it's much ado about nothing ... the 100m gold medalist says he's virus-free, and has been since Friday.

Lyles hit up the L'Arc Paris after the closing ceremony on Sunday -- five days after testing positive for COVID-19 (Noah revealed he tested positive early Tuesday morning) -- and seemed to be enjoying himself in the City of Lights, dancing to a Pop Smoke track while draped in an American flag.

The battle of Chicago wasn't only fought between the White Sox and Cubs baseball teams ... fans got into a massive brawl during the game, and all the action was caught on video!

The melee went down over the weekend during the Sox and Cubbies two-game series at Guaranteed Rate Field ... which the Cubs swept.

Frustrations must've boiled over amongst the White Sox faithful ... 'cause video shows two women in the team's black and white jerseys going at it, hair pulling and all, in front of Beggars Pizza Pub.

MLB star Jarren Duran was caught on a hot mic calling a heckler an anti-gay slur on Sunday ... and after receiving backlash for hours, the outfielder issued a mea culpa, apologizing for his "truly horrific" language.

The 27-year-old Red Sox player let the f-word fly when he stepped into the batter's box during the sixth inning of Boston's blowout loss to Houston.

You can hear in audio from the game's broadcast ... as a man in the Fenway Park stands chirped him about needing "a tennis racket" while at the dish -- he fired back by calling the guy a "f***ing f****t."

Donald Trump's golf game has never looked better ... just a few weeks after he impressed LIV star Bryson DeChambeau with his on-the-course work, he nearly carded a hole-in-one while playing with his fam.

Check out some video Donald Trump Jr. posted from his round with his Pops over the weekend ... No. 45 hit a shot so pure, he missed an ace by just inches.

The hole was a Par 3 that was surrounded by water and a big bunker ... and while it's unclear how long it was playing -- based on the iron DT was using, it appeared to be somewhere in the 160ish-yard range.

Colin Jost posted an alarming update on the injuries and illnesses he sustained during his harrowing -- and hilarious -- coverage in Tahiti as an Olympics Surfing correspondent, and NBC has labeled him a scourge!

NBC, according to Colin, has diagnosed him with leprosy ... true, the network brass aren't doctors, but it's a fair assessment after the 'SNL' star had to leave the games because he was doing himself in with gashes, bites and infections.

Colin himself said he's been declared a "leper" by his own network. That typically means he needs to isolate to protect himself and others. Obviously a joke ... but still, we get the point.

Hulk Hogan's former close friend is not shying away from the upcoming Gawker movie ... instead he wants to collab with them ... and, he's got lots of insight 'cause he was at the center of the scandal!

A rep for Bubba the Love Sponge -- a famous radio DJ whose wife wrestled between the sheets with the Hulkster in the now-infamous sex tape -- tells TMZ ... Bubba's not currently working with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon on their movie, but he's willing to collaborate.

We're told he feels the story's already out there, so Bubba's not hiding from it ... and, he wants to ensure the pair get the facts right in their flick.

The fan who caught Shohei Ohtani's historic 176th home run is about to be a whole lot richer ... TMZ Sports has learned the man's putting the ball up for auction -- and it's expected to net him a small fortune!!

The guys over at Heritage Auctions tell us ... Jason Patino -- who snagged the record-setting baseball after Ohtani blasted it toward him in an April 21 victory over the Mets -- is selling the memento on their block, and they're figuring it'll eventually go for around $200,000.

The ball, of course, holds a ton of value ... as it marked the official breaking of Hideki Matsui's MLB record for dingers by a Japanese-born slugger.

The Paris Olympics wasn't all fun and gold medals for Steph Curry and his family ... the NBA legend's wife, Ayesha found herself in tears while dealing with French authorities.

The TV personality -- who was in Paris to cheer on her Team USA star hubby as he willed the U.S. to a victory of France in Saturday's gold medal game -- is going viral as video shows her wiping away tears while having a tense face-off with local authorities.

Check out the vid ... it's unclear exactly what went down, but it seems there was a dispute over whether or not Ayesha and her infant son, Caius Chai, were allowed to make their way over to their car ... which appeared to be stuck in gridlock traffic due to French President Emmanuel Macron exiting the area.

From the sounds of it, baby Caius got caught up in the chaos and was clocked in the noggin by someone on the scene ... which prompted an emotional response from Ayesha and Steph's mom, Sonya.

Steph's Golden State Warriors teammate Draymond Green happened to be there ... and was even heard snapping at the authorities, saying ... "So even after y'all hit the baby in the head, there's still nothing y'all can do to get them out of here?"

Of course, no surprise Draymond would have the Curry's back ... Steph and DG have been teammates for years.

But, the French authorities didn't appear moved by their pleas ... as they maintained their stance that the family had to stay put.

Prior to the confrontation, the Curry's were on cloud 9.

Steph was a key factor in Team USA's win over France, earning Curry, LeBron James and the rest of the stars a gold medal. The 2x NBA MVP went off in the closing moments of the tight game, knocking down 4 threes when the U.S badly needed buckets.

The 2024 Olympics are officially a wrap ... closing a memorable, controversial Paris Games with star-studded performances by Snoop Dogg, Billie Eilish and The Red Hot Chili Peppers!

The celebration, which kicked off at the Stade de France Sunday afternoon, saw competitors from across the globe, celebrating their new gold, silver, and bronze hardware, coming together one final time for a variety of big performances from dancers, musicians and more.

The first big act came from French indie band, Phoenix, who performed their big hit, "Lisztomania," as the athletes surrounded the stage. The band later collaborated with Kavinsky for a rendition of the party anthem, "Nightcall."

Well, we told you so! Tom Cruise did the honors at the end of the Paris Olympics closing ceremony, and it went down exactly like we said it would! And, it was pretty spectacular.

Tom appeared at the top of Stade de France just as H.E.R. wrapped up her amazing rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner," and yes, he rapelled down to the floor of the stadium as fans went insane.

Tom walked up to L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, who handed him the Olympic flag -- Tom hopped on a motorcycle and rode with the flag on the back outside the stadium.
