Robert Parish: Let’s talk Michael Jordan. People often ask me to compare and contrast Michael and Larry [Bird]. When I think about those two guys, the similarity I see between them is their competitiveness. Their drive and focus. They both had a strong distaste for losing. The biggest difference between them was their leadership style. Michael is a more aggressive person, more verbal and in your face. That’s how he leads. Larry led by example. He wasn’t a rah-rah guy or a yeller. He didn’t lead with words. He led with action. When you do that, you can stay a leader longer. People don’t get tired of your voice. You don’t become background noise or get tuned out. But finding differences between Michael and Larry is like nitpicking. In general, it was a pleasure to play with both.
