Conor McGregor was ready to pick on someone much larger than his own size at the Bucks vs. Jazz game on Monday ... looking big man Brook Lopez up and down right in the middle of the action!!

The hilarious interaction went down in the second quarter of Milwaukee's 125-110 road win over Utah ... when Notorious was walking along the sideline to get to his courtside seat, but was interrupted by something the 7'1" center said.

The UFC superstar quickly turned around and approached Lopez during Damian Lillard's free throw attempts ... and the two shook hands before McGregor playfully made it seem like he was scoping out an opponent.

Duke men's basketball star Khaman Maluach didn't have a turnover Monday night, but his stomach sure did ... as he threw up all over the floor during the Blue Devils' home tilt with N.C. State.

Maluach was down in the low post waiting to make a play ... when suddenly, he emptied the contents of his stomach right underneath the basket.

Adam Vinatieri knows a thing or two about greatness -- he, after all, played with Tom Brady and is considered the most clutch kicker ever -- and he tells TMZ Sports if Patrick Mahomes beats Philadelphia in next month's Super Bowl, the Chiefs star will have a real claim to the NFL's GOAT title.

The victory in New Orleans, of course, would give Mahomes his fourth ring -- and while that's still three behind Brady's total of seven, it would make him the first-ever signal-caller to earn three in a row.

Vinatieri tells us that feat would be so impressive ... he'd be down to start having the conversation of whether or not Mahomes deserves to be considered the greatest of all time.

The ad is not only scored with "Lose Yourself," but it also features a caption that reads, "You only get one shot to own a Special Edition Detroit Lions F-150."

Jimmy Butler very well may have played his last game for the Miami Heat -- the team just suspended the superstar again ... but this time, there's no timetable for his return amid the ugly feud.

The news broke on Monday ... with Shams Charania saying the six-time All-Star walked out of the team's shootaround after learning he was losing his starting role to Haywood Highsmith.

Thirty-one others, cops say, were issued citations for disorderly conduct or failure to disperse.

Classy gesture from Ravens fans ... they're now helping raise funds for a charity close to Dalton Kincaid's heart following his tough Sunday -- just a week after Bills Mafia did similar for Mark Andrews after his rough outing.

Baltimore backers started the GoFundMe just minutes after Kincaid dropped a key pass in the Bills' 32-29 loss to Kansas City that could've helped send Buffalo to the Super Bowl.

Ravens Flock wrote in a summary on the fundraiser they appreciated the way Bills fans supported Andrews with a GoFundMe after he dropped a ball that might've lifted Baltimore to the AFCCG ... and they wanted to "return the favor."

47 took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to show love to the defending world champs after their 32-29 nail-biter against the Bills.

"What a GREAT Team, Coach, Quarterback, and virtually everything else, including those fantastic FANS, that voted for me (MAGA!) in record numbers," Trump wrote.

Of course, Brittany Mahomes publicly supported 45/47 during the election ... and it's clear DJT didn't forget.

Brittany Mahomes took time from celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs' return to the Super Bowl to scold the Buffalo fan base ... making it crystal clear she hasn't forgotten about the time Bills Mafia hung a Kermit the Frog puppet dressed as her husband from a pole at a tailgate earlier this season.

"Do we remember this Buffalo? Absolutely disgusting," Patrick's longtime partner said Sunday night. "So as you go home tonight, I pray we become better people."

The incident happened back in November ... when Buffalo hosted the AFC champs at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park for a big regular season matchup.
