Obviously, there are nights in any job when you don't want to be there, but that's when the pride factor comes in.
Quote by -Robert Parish
If you don't play with intensity in this league, you're going to get embarrassed. Without hard work, you don't have a chance.
Quote by -Robert Parish
I don't want to be taking up space, but as long as I can make a contribution, I want to play.
Quote by -Robert Parish
Golden State was basically a guard-oriented offense so I didn't use it that much.
Quote by -Robert Parish
I'm not worried about offense. I've always had that, but I can get better defensively and that in turn will make my offense better.
Quote by -Robert Parish
Every year it happens. When I'm not putting up big numbers, I start hearing it - that I'm too old, that time finally has caught up with me.
Quote by -Robert Parish
Joe Kleine is not a legitimate center in the sense that he is not a shot blocker and not an intimidator. He's not a force on the offensive end.
Quote by -Robert Parish
Not head coach - Assistant would be very attractive, but I don't think I have the discipline to deal with all the egos and personalities a head coach has to deal with.
Quote by -Robert Parish
At Golden State, it was basically a guard-oriented offense and it wasn't either around me or in my direction.
Quote by -Robert Parish
My father always shied away from attention. Whenever he'd get a compliment, he'd downplay it.
Quote by -Robert Parish
My parents always taught me to be humble no matter what the experience, to not think I was better than anyone else.
Quote by -Robert Parish
I have a great deal of respect for Coach Fitch. When we won the championship in '81, he was the main reason why we won. We were down and he never let us doubt ourselves.
Quote by -Robert Parish
On the West Coast, things are more relaxed, maybe because people have more fun outdoors. In the East, where the weather is not so good, people have to stay indoors. They're very knowledgable fans. This makes you play even harder.
Quote by -Robert Parish
You've got to listen to yourself, do what you think is best. Because if you listen to the critics, you might be going in all different directions.
Quote by -Robert Parish
I was always looking at the ground because I was self-conscious about my height. I had big feet, big hands, and all that.
Quote by -Robert Parish
To be honest my mentor was my mom and dad. I was very blessed and fortunate to have parents like I had.
Quote by -Robert Parish
I always feel like you should walk into a room or walk down the street, like you belong. That's the philosophy that I always try to subscribe to.
Quote by -Robert Parish
I basically gave up drinking. Personally, I thought I was drinking too much and, over the long run, it caught up with me.
Quote by -Robert Parish
I haven't talked to the press much. That's why I've gotten kind of a bad reputation. They look at me and think I don't give a damn. But I'm not comfortable with the attention.
Quote by -Robert Parish
I told myself coming into the league that if I could play for six or seven years, that would have been a great career.
Quote by -Robert Parish
I can't speak for the Warriors but for me and my career, being traded to the Celtics changed the trajectory of my career.
Quote by -Robert Parish
I was seriously thinking about having a very short basketball career before the trade because of all the losing that I experienced with the Warriors, and being blamed for the Warriors demise.
Quote by -Robert Parish
The one opinion that experience does for you is it keeps you cool, calm, and collected under pressure.
Quote by -Robert Parish
I want to make it clear, I'm not whining, and the Celtics owe me nothing. But having said that, you would think at least I would have a conversation about a coaching job, since that's what I want to do.
Quote by -Robert Parish
Across the board, most NBA teams do not call back. You need a court order just to get a phone call back from these organizations. I'm not a part of their fraternity.
Quote by -Robert Parish
I've never been a person that was concerned about accolades or the media embracing me.
Quote by -Robert Parish
I have never been one to seek or want attention or admiration or a pat on the back for what I've done.
Quote by -Robert Parish
Boston has some of the best fans in any sport. They are very knowledgeable. They understand me. I was loved, embraced, and supported; what more can you ask for as an athlete?
Quote by -Robert Parish
I'd be the first to say that I'm a distant individual. I have a tendency to come across as being aloof and dismissive.
Quote by -Robert Parish
I've had the zeroes since junior high school. We didn't have enough numbered shirts to go around, so my shirt was called double zero. I liked it, so I kept it.
Quote by -Robert Parish
I cannot thank Don DeDonatis enough for his leadership of USSSA, his stewardship of our business initiatives, and his friendship to me over the years.
