Worst Sports Break-ups

Clemens and the Red Sox.

And Cleveland and LeBron, obv, tho they made up.

 

The two Jerrys deciding winning championships every year with the Bulls was getting boring and deciding in advance to break up the band.

 

I’d say Larry Brown and Allen Iverson, but I’m quite frankly still shocked it lasted as long as it did.

 

TOO SOON!

 

Sports Illustrated and great journalism.
ESPN and good daytime programming.

 

Bobby Knight and Indiana

Woody Hayes and Ohio State, although he was quickly restored to deity status with revisionist history by almost all of his successors, even to this day.

 

This is art.

 

Shaq and Kobe

Piazza and the Dodgers

Because I was a huge fan, it might have meant more to me than most, but the the Ditka/McMahon breakup with McMahon getting shipped to the Chargers was a bummer for me.

Montana's split with the 49ers seemed unreal to me, too, a few years later.

 

Didn't realize the OP held exclusivity.
