Another Celtics icon, Robert Parish was drafted in 1976 by the Golden State Warriors at first but played a major part of his career with the Boston Celtics. He was a 7-foot centre but his versatility spanned across all domains of the game.

During his 14 years with the Celtics franchise, he won 3 titles (1981, 1984 & 1986) teaming with Larry Bird and Kevin McHale. They came to be known as "The Big Three" and are till date, considered as one of the best frontcourts in NBA history.

During his time in Boston, he clinched a career-high average of 19.9 points and 10.8 rebounds per game in the 1981-82 season.

Parish is a member of the "50 Greatest Players in NBA History", and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2003.

Parish, also known as "The Chief," remains connected to the Celtics as the team consultant and works with the team in several areas.

He is the oldest ever (42 years and 65 days old) to start on opening night in the NBA, and the second place is held by a man that follows in the next slides.
