DESTROYS Dwight Howard
We Don't Need 'B*tches' on the Lakers ** WARNING -- VIDEO CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE **

Ice Cube is a Los Angeles Lakers superfan ... and apparently, he doesn't take kindly to Dwight Howard running out on his team -- 'cause the rapper OBLITERATED the NBA star during a live show ... and it was incredible.

Cube was on stage at the Greek Theater in L.A. over the weekend -- when he blasted "Dwight Coward" mercilessly.

"F**k Dwight Howard ...we don't need no punk ass motherf**kers on our team."

He continued, "We don't need no bitches on our team homie."

Cube adds, "Kobe will win another championship before Dwight Howard ever sniffs one."

After the rant, he told the crowd ... "I'm glad I got that off my chest."

So are we.

Lakers Exec Johnny Buss
DIVORCING
Ex-Clippers Dancer
Los Angeles Lakers executive Johnny Buss -- oldest son of deceased Lakers owner Jerry Buss -- has filed for divorce from his wife, who happens to be an ex-Clippers dancer, TMZ has learned.

Johnny -- who's currently the V.P. of Strategic Development for the Lake Show -- filed divorce docs in L.A. County Superior Court ... seeking to end his marriage to Christy Curtis Buss ... a marriage that began in 1991.

Here's the weird part ... in the court docs, obtained by TMZ, Buss states that he and Christy separated back in 2000 ... which means they've been split up for 13 YEARS!

Apparently, Johnny finally felt like cutting the cord ... because he filed the docs himself on June 11, 2013. It's unclear why he waited so long.  They have no minor children.

In the docs, Buss blames the split on irreconcilable differences ... but checked the box that acknowledges he'll have to pony up spousal support.

Christy is no slouch ... after she danced for the Clip squad, she went on to be a successful choreographer for the L.A. Sparks and various TV shows including "Days of Our Lives," which she worked on for 19 years.

Lakers Star Steve Nash
Judge Rules GF
Can Fly with Kids
L.A. Lakers star Steve Nash just won a victory in his custody war with his ex, but it's small potatoes compared to what's ultimately at stake.

A judge in the case just ruled ... Steve's live-in girlfriend, Brittany Richardson, is allowed to accompany the 3 kids without Steve from L.A. to Arizona and back.  Steve's ex, Alejandra Nash, had objected to Brittany taking charge of the kids on grounds she wasn't a family member.

The judge ruled ... Brittany was as much a family member as the nanny, who is allowed to care for the children.

There's a bigger issue on the line.  Both Steve and Alejandra are waiting for the judge to rule on whether she can move from Phoenix to L.A.  Steve has objected ... he says because L.A. is a lousy place to raise kids.  Alejandra scoffs at Steve's objection, saying it's a smoke screen and the real reason he doesn't want her to move is because a California judge would nail him with child support.

The judge is expected to rule any day.
