The only 00 in Celtics history is perhaps the greatest 00 of all time: Robert "The Chief" Parish. Even though the 7'1" center played for the Golden State Warriors from 1976 to 1980, the Charlotte Hornets from 1994 to 1996 and the Chicago Bulls from 1996 to 1997, he is most famous of being the center of the Celtics dynasty years of the 1980s. He left the team in 1994.
His number was retired after he retired from the Bulls in 1997, and became the first number to be retired in the FleetCenter (now the TD Garden).
Parish was elected to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2003.
