The last pair of trousers Tom Brady ever wore in an NFL game are up for grabs -- the super-rare piece of history has hit the auction block ... and could fetch a TON of money!!

TMZ Sports has learned ... the uniform pants TB12 wore during Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 2023 NFC Wild Card game against the Dallas Cowboys have been made available via Grey Flannel Auctions ... with bidding starting May 20.

The opening bid is $10k ... but considering the GOAT's jersey from the same game fetched $1.4 million last year, it's safe to say these slacks are gonna sell for a pretty penny.

Not everybody in the WNBA is traveling in style just yet -- Angel Reese and her Chicago Sky teammates are still flying commercial to start the 2024 season ... as the league continues to smooth out its new charter flight program.

Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever and the Minnesota Lynx were the first two teams to reap the benefits of the WNBA's private plane partnership with Delta ... traveling to Connecticut and Seattle respectively in the comfort of their own aircrafts.

But the remaining three teams with away games to kickstart the season weren't so lucky ... as the Sky and Atlanta Dream hopped aboard commercial jets for their games.

Shaquille O'Neal stands on business ... and good luck moving the 7'1" Big Fella!!

TMZ Sports caught up with the 4-time NBA champion this week -- days after his on-air exchange with this year's NBA MVP Nikola Jokic -- and Shaq ain't backing down even a little!!

"Let me say something to all the people that are not smart enough to comprehend what I say," O'Neal told Babcock. "Never said I didn't like Joker, never said anything bad about the Joker. Joker is the best big man in a long time. I just said that I thought Shai Gilgeous-Alexander should've gotten the MVP."

11:29 AM PT -- Rory McIlroy's manager, Sean O'Flaherty, said in a statement Tuesday afternoon the golfer will not be commenting on Monday's filing, but he's adamant he wants to make "this difficult time" "as respectful and amicable as possible."

The man who could've potentially turned a hundred bucks into a whopping $1.7 MILLION on one bet is taking the guaranteed money and running ... cashing out of his viral championship-winner parlay at $80,900.

Wayne Shelton became internet famous over the past few weeks ... after it was revealed he was an Oklahoma City Thunder NBA Finals title away from becoming a millionaire thanks to a three-leg parlay he placed last year -- when he picked OKC, the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Chiefs to win their respective championships at +1143000 odds (with 50% boost).

Of course, the Rangers and Chiefs did their part ... leaving Shelton one leg away from a MASSIVE payday -- but with each Thunder win and loss in the 2024 playoffs, his cashout option fluctuated like crazy.

Rudy Gobert apparently didn't learn the first time around -- the Minnesota Timberwolves Defensive Player of the Year was fined AGAIN for making a money gesture toward officials during a game ... this time, getting hit with a $75k punishment.

Gobert was clearly upset with calls during the Wolves' Game 4 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday ... and an offensive foul late in the fourth quarter led the 31-year-old to throw up another money gesture -- implying the refs were influenced by sports betting.

The league announced the consequences on Tuesday ... saying Gobert was fined 75 racks for making an "inappropriate and unprofessional gesture that questions the league and its game officials."

Elwood Dalton is back -- Jake Gyllenhaal is slated to star in a sequel to the super-successful "Road House" reboot ... with Prime Video announcing the project on Tuesday.

The confirmation comes less than two months after the reimagining of the 1989 cult classic hit the streaming service ... but really, it should come as no surprise.

As we previously reported, the movie did NUMBERS when it came out in March ... becoming the most-watched debut in the platform's history.

Albany State University volleyball player Mariam Creighton was tragically killed in a nightclub shooting in Atlanta over the weekend. She was only 21 years old.

The Atlanta Police Department said the incident happened around 2:28 AM on Sunday ... when officers responded to shots fired at the Elleven45 establishment.

Responders found six people shot ... two of whom were pronounced dead at the scene -- Creighton and 20-year-old Nakyris Ridley.

Gayle King is a swimsuit model at the ripe age of 69 -- because she's on the cover of Sports Illustrated ... and even as a senior, she's showing off her rockin' bod.

The CBS News anchor was among 4 women tapped to appear on different covers of an upcoming SI issue -- and she's kinda the odd woman out, since the others are veteran models in the biz ... including Chrissy Teigen, Hunter McGrady and Kate Upton.

All those gals are also a lot younger than Gayle, which makes her shoot all the more eye-popping. Frankly, she looks incredible in her spread ... rocking several different bathing suits.

Shaquille O'Neal let the candy out of the bag this week ... with the Big Fella (accidentally) revealing he's dropping a new gummie with "the biggest candy player in the world!"

With the NBA playoffs in full swing, Shaq was talking hoops with TMZ Sports on Monday when the Hall of Famer's hunger got the best of him, and he exposed a bag that read, "Shaq A Licious XL Gummies"

Are you coming out with candy, we asked?!

LeBron James put the wine in Wine and Gold on Monday ... hitting up the Cleveland Cavaliers' home playoff game against the Boston Celtics with an entire bottle of vino in hand.

The local hero hit up his old stomping grounds to catch the Game 4 matchup at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse ... and when Bron, Savannah and his agent, Rich Paul, made their way to their courtside seats, the folks in attendance showed their appreciation for the Cavs legend.

The team even gave James a special shoutout on the Humongotron ... with a brief montage of his Cavs career highlights, including Cleveland's thrilling 2016 NBA Finals win over the Golden State Warriors.

Brittany Mahomes just gave her followers a deeper look into her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit photo shoot with some behind-the-scenes pics ... and check 'em out, they're steeeaaaaamy!!

Patrick's wife posted the shots on her Instagram page late Monday night -- in a clear attempt to hype up this week's release of SI's annual bikini edition.

In one image, Britt can be seen rockin' a cowboy hat while in a barely-there red two-piece. In another, the 28-year-old mother of two donned a similar red 'fit -- capped off with a big smile. A third image shows the Chiefs star's boo in a body of water while wearing a tiny fuchsia bathing suit.

Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid's passion for one another was on full display at Taylor Swift's Paris concert over the weekend – and their little love sesh was caught on video.

Check out the new footage posted to TikTok ... Brad and Gigi were hanging out with Taylor's NFL star boyfriend, Travis Kelce, in a suite at the pop star's sold-out Sunday show at the Paris La Défense Arena.

As they were grooving to one of Taylor's tunes, Brad suddenly turned to Gigi, pulled her close and gave her a huge lip smacker. The lovebirds then held hands for a bit before Gigi started clapping for Taylor. All the while Travis was fixated on Taylor onstage, waving his arms in the air.

Sylvester Stallone is about to score a massive payday after putting his watch collection up for auction, because one of the timepieces could fetch a literal king's ransom.

As you might have heard, the 'Rocky' star is selling 11 watches from his personal collection through Sotheby's next month ... and one crown jewel, in particular, has a watch expert going bonkers 'cause it's incredibly rare (and damn expensive).

YouTube personality Nico Leonard van der Horst -- who knows all things watches -- tells TMZ ... he simply can't believe Sly is parting with his ultra-rare Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime.

Magic Johnson claims he has no idea who the Lakers' next head coach will be ... but he definitely knows who it WON'T be -- Magic Johnson -- 'cause the Hall of Famer tells TMZ Sports those days are long gone.

The Purple and Gold are currently coach-less after parting ways with Darvin Ham following his second season at the helm ... and when we caught up with the legend last week, he didn't want to speculate on who could fill the seat he briefly held three decades back.

"I couldn't tell ya," Magic said when asked about the vacancy in Beverly Hills. "It's up to the Lakers and Jeanie [Buss] and Rob Pelinka. I hope they get a good one, though."

While Rob Gronkowski may have made headlines with his frat boy funny stuff at the Tom Brady Roast on Netflix ... there is nothing funny about this birthday boys shirtless shots.

The former NFL tight end has repeatedly hit his social media with some hot selfies and the now 35-year-old athlete and notorious partier is putting his A-list abs on full display.
