1. Robert Parish — 1996-97 season

Robert Parish brought a championship pedigree to a Chicago Bulls team that was in the middle of its championship window. The is the one case where the legendary signing ended up with a championship. Parish was 43 years old when he signed with the Bulls. He just wanted to win a championship, and that’s what he got to do.

He didn’t really have to do much to win the championship. He was 43 years old. There was not a lot he could bring to the table on their run to a championship. Parise played a total of two games in the playoffs. He was the 12th man, and he was a really good cheerleader.

Parish retired after the season, but he was able to secure his fourth NBA title. Obviously, this one was a lot different than the other titles, but he gets the same ring as he got for the other seasons. Parish was a veteran presence, something the Bulls tried but never seemed to need.

This one was incredibly forgettable because of where Parish was in his career, and the impact he made on the Bulls. Parish wasn’t needed much, but he got to get on the ride to a title. If you are going to be on the end of the bench during the twilight of your career, you might as well do it on the dynasty Bulls.
