This feud supposedly ended in the beginning of 2006. But thanks to a freestyle rap recently put up on TMZ.com, this one's as strong as ever. Sure these two won three titles together with the Lakers, but Shaq pointed out in his rap that Kobe hasn't won a championship without him and even slipped in a mention of how Kobe ruined his marriage. Shaq said it was just a joke but everyone's looking forward to the next time these two play against each other.";

On July 8, 2000 in an interleague game, Clemens hit Piazza in the head with a fastball. The resulting injury caused Piazza to miss the All-Star Game and Piazza said he believed Clemens did it on purpose and hinted strongly that Clemens, who does not bat because of the designated hitter rule in the American League, was a coward. The next time they met was in the World Series later that year when Piazza broke his bat on a Clemens pitch. Part of the bat landed near Clemens and he hurled the bat in Piazza's direction.
