10 Times Teammates Broke The Bro Code

Everyone knows it's not cool to fool around with any of your teammates' wives or girlfriends, yet athletes seem to do it all the time. Here are 10 such incidents. It's important to remember that many of these are largely unproven.

Shanahan dazzled on and off the ice, but he apparently dazzled one too many people. That's because he allegedly slept with teammate Craig Janney's wife. It seems like an off-the-ice blemish in an otherwise sparkling career.

Lindros, another hockey player who did a little bit too much off the ice, allegedly slept with one of his teammate's wives as well. This time it was his teammate Rod Brind'amour, who, as the story goes, hit Lindros with a chair after he found out what had happened.

The famous Chelsea soccer player has seen his fair share of scandals. He allegedly slept with teammate Wayne Bridge's girlfriend, which sparked some controversy in the team. Terry scores a lot, but this was one time he probably should have resisted scoring.

It seemed like Tony Parker had it all. He was a star in the NBA and he had a gorgeous wife in Eva Longoria. However, he went and slept with teammate Brent Barry's wife, which allegedly is what caused the divorce of both couples soon after.

The Suns were one of the best teams in the league when Steve Nash and Leandro Barbosa were both on the team. However, tensions ran high when news came out that Barbosa had supposedly slept with Nash's wife. While it hasn't been proven, it seemed to cause a rift in the team.

As if one teammate wasn't bad enough, try two. Allegedly, Jason Richardson also slept with Steve Nash's wife at a different time. If Richardson wasn't getting the ball as often from his point guard after that, we probably know why.

While Murray didn't sleep with a teammate's wife while they were on the same team, he slept with former Oklahoma teammate Brennan Clay's wife. Clay was so furious about the entire thing that he published screenshots of text messages between the two that seem to prove they did, in fact, have an affair.

The Mailman usually delivered when it mattered most, but there's one person he shouldn't have delivered to and that's former teammate Kobe Bryant's longtime significant other. He allegedly did exactly that, though, and it created a break in chemistry between he and the Black Mamba.

There were rumors swirling that young prospect Avisail Garcia slept with teammate Prince Fielder's wife while they were both on the Tigers. Those rumors seemed to gain more traction when Garcia was traded to the White Sox soon after the alleged incident. One story says the two got into a fight in the locker room and Miguel Cabrera had to break it up.

The most outrageous offense of any on this list has to be Delonte West. He didn't sleep with any teammate's wives or girlfriends, but he slept with LeBron James' mom. It was a hot rumor when they were both on the Cavaliers, and was confirmed in 2014.
