Celtics Talk

This year marks the 40th anniversary of one of the greatest teams in NBA history, the 1986 Boston Celtics. Back in 2016, NBC Sports Boston produced a documentary on that season called "The '86 Celtics". We gathered interviews with members of that team, media, and others in the making of the documentary. We'll re-release these long-form interviews on the Celtics Talk podcast feed.
This episode features a lengthy two part interview with “The Chief”, Hall of Famer Robert Parish. As we start the interview with number double zero, Parish reflects back on the monumental trade that sent him from the Golden State Warriors, along with the number three pick in the NBA draft to Boston. Of course, it was engineered by the legendary Red Auerbach. That number three pick was used to draft one of the other members of the big three, Kevin McHale.
