Boston Celtics Legend Robert Parish Puts LeBron James On Larry Bird’s Legendary Level

Robert Parish, a Boston Celtics legend and Hall of Fame center that played on four championship teams, has finally seen enough from LeBron James to put him on the level of his former teammate Larry Bird. Parish, who joined the Celtics in the 1980-1981 season, played 13 seasons beside “Larry Legend”, a player who most people consider to be one of the two greatest small forwards ever.

Bird, whose shooting, passing, rebounding, defense and basketball IQ were all top-notch, amassed 21,791 points, 8,974 rebounds, 5,695 assists, 1,556 steals and 755 blocks in his career. He finished his career with averages of 24.
