Robert Parish is an American former basketball player, best known by his endearing nickname, “The Chief.” The 7-foot-tall player has played as a center and holds the record (a tie with four more players) for playing more games than anyone else in the history of the ‘National Basketball Association’ (NBA). Parish started playing basketball when he was in seventh grade. Later, at the peak of his career, he was valued for his strong defense, agility, and endurance. Parish bagged three ‘NBA’ championships, playing for the ‘Boston Celtics.’ Popular opinion holds that Parish, along with Larry Bird and Kevin McHale, made one of the best frontlines in the history of the ‘NBA.’ Parish retired from his glorious career at the age of 43, and in 2003, he made a place for himself in the ‘Basketball Hall of Fame.’
