Young Michael Jordan Disrespected Larry Bird’s Legendary Celtics Teammate and Was Shut Down: “I’m Going to Kick Your A**.”

Becoming Michael Jordan, the greatest player of all time, wasn’t an overnight occurrence. Due to his performances at the beginning, he was able to be a part of the 1984 Olympic team. His success led him to become a great player who won a number of championships.

Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Robert Parish were the “Big Three” of the Boston Celtics during the 1980s. In his time as the “Chief,” Robert Parish was among the best players who won multiple championships. During the 1996-97 basketball season, Parish played for the Chicago Bulls and when Parish came on board, he had a run-in with budding megastar Michael Jordan.

Robert Parish would prefer Larry Bird’s leadership over Michael Jordan‘s.

According to reports, when Parish messed up one of the games during a practice play with the bulls, Jordan’s reaction was different since he got into a screaming match with Parish. According to Parish, at that point in time, both players were engaged in a feud with each other

“I told him, “I’m not as enamored with you as these other guys. I’ve got some rings too,”’ Parish recalled. ‘At that point, he told me, “I’m going to kick your a**.” I took one step closer and said, “No, you really aren’t.” After that, he didn’t bother me.”

The last year of Parish’s career was spent playing with the Bulls as a teammate of Jordan. During championship seasons, it was always said that Jordan carried a heavy heart.

Over the years, he has often been difficult toward other teammates. In the clash with Parish, it appeared that Parish was not going to accept Jordan’s behavior. The fact that Parish made his name before joining the bulls makes it easy to say that he will not be disrespected by Jordan.

During the same interview, Parish mentioned that he would prefer Larry’s leadership over Jordan’s, saying that, “What set Larry apart from Magic and Jordan was he wasn’t an in-your-face leader like they were. He had too much respect for us. If you weren’t having a good night, he was more inclined to encourage you, or not say anything at all. But Magic and Jordan would jump all over you.”
