Robert Parish played in more games than any other player in NBA history. A 7-foot-1 center who combined strength, agility and remarkable endurance, Parish won three NBA championships with the Boston Celtics in the 1980s and teamed with Larry Bird and Kevin McHale to form one of the greatest front lines in NBA history. He capped his career by winning yet another Championship ring as a member of the 1996-97 Chicago Bulls, although his heart forever remains in Boston; "I will always be a Celtic at heart," Parish said. "That's where my career took off”. This very basketball was presented to the Chief after his final game with the Celtics on April 24, 1994. In this game they played at Cleveland, Parish scored a cool 15 points business as usual. Printed on the ball is “SPALDING Official Game Ball NBA” with commissioner Stern’s printed signature below. “SPALDING” along with the “NBA” logo appear on opposite panel as well The ball is also stamped with “CLEVELAND CAVS”. The ball shows game-use, takes air and appears to have no alterations of any kind. Accompanied by an LOA from Robert Parish himself.
