35-year-old Larry Bird and 38-year-old Robert Parish showing young guns from Miami Heat how fundamental basketball is played. Just a great performance by two Celtic legends from 91/92 regular season (last Bird season as a player in the NBA).

Larry Bird: 28 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 12/19 FG.

Robert Parish: 31 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 13/16 FG.

Celtics won the game 124:97.

Larry and Robert schooling Grant Long and Rony Seikaly, vs a Heat team that also had some other young'ns such as Steve Smith or Glen Rice...

Bird in his last season, 35 years old after multiple surgeries, playing with career ending injuries and not much mobility left... Still killing'em, still showing how basketball is played...

Chief was 38 and still outrunning those young nikkas on the break :lol And that rainbow jumper is always nice to see. He would still play for 5 more seasons though, crazy longevity.

That last play was sweet af http://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/banderas.png

Robert Parish's longevity was insane, this is a guy who played against Kobe who is still in the league today and against John Havlicek who was teammates with Bill Russell. Think about that for a sec.:lol
