Celtics Legend Robert Parish, Who Threatened to Beat Up Michael Jordan, Claimed Legendary Bulls Team Were A** Kissers

The term world domination and the Chicago Bulls go hand in hand. The team led by Michael Jordan dominated an entire decade winning 6 NBA titles in the process. Although Jordan might take most of the credit, he had a talented roster to support him.

After the release of The Last Dance documentary, people got a taste of what felt like in the Bulls’ era. What seemed to most people is that Jordan was the upright leader and his teammates followed him religiously. 

Talking on an interview, Celtics legend Robert Parish called out the Bulls team. According to Parish, the locker room was led by one man only which led to Jordan becoming an authoritarian leader.

Safe to say, the Chicago Bulls is one of the greatest NBA franchises ever. More so, the Bulls of the 90s dominated the entire NBA and is widely regarded as the best basketball team ever.

Boston Celtics legend Robert Parish has other opinions. Talking in an interview, he said, ” He [Michael Jordan] bullied all those guys. You know what bothered me about that? They didn’t have the balls to say anything about the teammates. There’s no way we took that from Larry.”

Interestingly enough, Parish and Michael Jordan have a shaky relationship. Parish spent a year in the Chicago Bulls in the 1996-97 season after spending the majority of his career in the Boston Celtics.

The entire world was aware of Michael Jordan’s authoritarian leadership in the Chicago Bulls. But Robert Parish was not one of the players who would let Jordan push him around.

During a practice session, the Celtics legend and Jordan had a confrontation. Jordan was a known trash talker, and he tested out his new teammates by trash-talking them.

He tried a similar method with Parish but it was all in vain. He snapped back at Jordan by saying, “I’m not as enamored with you as these other guys. I’ve got some rings too.”

Parish has 4 NBA titles to his name with 3 of them coming with the Boston Celtics. His final NBA title came with the Chicago Bulls in 1997.
