DUNK FAIL

... In Charity Hoops Game

EXCLUSIVE

Apparently, Dez Bryant is human after all.

TMZ Sports has footage of the Dallas Cowboys superstar going up for a wide open dunk at a charity hoops game in AZ on Saturday ... only to get STUFFED by the rim.

It was a rare athletic misfire by the NFL superstar -- who, along with several other celebs, participated in the Gridiron Celebrity Hoops XVII charity game in Phoenix this weekend.

The game raised money for Juli’s Kids Motivated to Succeed (Juli’s Kids) -- whose mission is to enrich the lives of today’s abused, abandoned, neglected and homeless children.

As for Dez, we're told the rest of his game was solid -- but more importantly, props for helping out a great cause.

EXCLUSIVE

Bobbi Kristina was face down in the bathtub when she was found this morning, and police searched her home for drugs ... TMZ has learned.

Dr. Dre -- Suge's Full of It ... I Never Asked for a Peace Summit

Suge's Full of It

I Never Asked for a Peace Summit

EXCLUSIVE

Dr. Dre is calling BS on Suge Knight for suggesting the good Doc asked Suge to come to the set to make peace with him.

Sources connected with Dre tell us ... he scoffed when he was told Suge is claiming Terry Carter -- the man he struck and killed -- was bringing Suge to the set because Dre wanted to end their beef .

TMZ broke the story ... less than an hour before the hit and run, Suge went to another set location but was thrown out by Dre's security. Sources connected with Suge say he got a call from Carter who said he had just spoken with Dre and the Beats mogul said he wanted Suge to return so he could make peace.

Our Dre sources say it never happened, and note it's pretty convenient the only other person who has first-hand knowledge is dead because Suge killed him.

As for why Dre and his people didn't want Suge around ... we're told it's because they view Suge as having a big fat target on his back. They say the shooting last Summer where Suge was hit 6 times is proof enough ... he has enemies, and Dre didn't want him and his people in the line of fire.

Suge Knight -- Victim's Relative Says IT WAS MURDER

EXCLUSIVE

Suge Knight murdered his friend ... and that's not just what cops are saying -- this is right from the victim's family.

A close family member of Terry Carter -- who did not want to be ID'd -- tells TMZ, she went to the scene almost immediately after the incident and multiple witnesses made it clear ... Suge made Terry a sacrificial lamb.

She was told the story we broke ... that Suge was an unwelcome visitor to the set of a commercial for "Straight Outta Compton." Both witnesses and detectives told her Suge and Cle "Bone" Sloan got in a physical fight while Suge was sitting in the driver's seat. Suge gunned it and struck Bone.

This is where the relative says it's murder. Bone was laying injured behind the truck and Terry ran over to pull him to safety. The relative tells TMZ Suge KNEW Terry was there but was so determined to kill Bone he just didn't care, and gunned it in reverse , rolling over Terry's head.

We asked her if she could accept Suge's explanation that it was an accident, and she said flatly, "Hell no. It was murder."
