Robert Parish’s Iconic Boston Celtics Jersey: A Piece of NBA History
A Legendary Career
Robert Parish, affectionately known as “The Chief,” stands as a towering figure in the annals of basketball history. Inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2003, Parish’s illustrious career is marked by numerous accolades, including being named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History in 1996. A four-time NBA Champion, Parish holds the record as the all-time NBA leader in games played, a testament to his durability and skill. His No. 00 jersey, retired by the Boston Celtics, is a symbol of his enduring legacy.
The Jersey: A Testament to Excellence
This remarkable jersey, worn by Robert Parish during his time with the Boston Celtics, is a pristine example of basketball memorabilia. The front left tail features a “Sand-Knit” manufacturer’s tag that reads, “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the BOSTON CELTICS,” underscoring its authenticity and exclusivity. Below this, another “Sand-Knit” size “46” tag with washing instructions is present, along with a “100% NYLON” tag on the right inseam.
Adorning the left chest is the official “NBA” logo, embroidered with precision. Across the chest, the iconic “CELTICS” name is proudly displayed, with the player number “00” featured prominently on both the front and back. The name “PARISH” graces the back, with all numbering and lettering crafted in green tackle twill, sewn directly onto the white knit jersey. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows light use.
