Robert Parish also played with Rick Barry and against his sons Brent and Jon. :smokin

[Solid D]

Actually, Robert Parish played in GS with Rick in 1978. In 1979, Robert played with Chicago and Rick Barry played in Houston for the Rockets, so Robert would have also played against Rick and his sons.

I think Naismith got the idea when he saw Robert Parish messing around with a peach basket . . .

:lol Yeah, Naismith started the game of basketball to give Robert something to do besides smoking that reefer.
