Robert Parish: “The only one of the new generation that may be able to get a seat at the table with Larry Bird and the best of the best is the big fella up in Denver, Jokic. They may have to bring out another seat for him.”

If you're old school like I am, such comments from "the Chief" tell you everything you have to know about how Jokic is above and beyond every other player of this generation.

"They may have to add a chair to the all-time great table if he stays healthy."

Chief got his nickname from One Flew over Cookoo Nest, didnt he? Great player and human being. Without him Larry would not reach his success. For me Larrys Celtics roster was significantly better than Showtime’s. They also had fantastic rivals on East
