The next reunion of the 1986 Celtics could get a little awkward.
Former Celtic Robert Parish was recently asked about where he thinks Paul Pierce stands in team history. He had a somewhat surprising answer when comparing the offensive abilities of Pierce and Larry Bird. According to Parish, Pierce gets the nod.
“Offensively, yes,” Parish said. “I just feel like Paul was more creative. He was a better scorer than Larry and John Havlicek. I think that Larry and John Havlicek and Paul were the best offensive players that the Celtics ever had. I think Paul tops that list in my opinion.
