NBA legend Robert Parish said that the Miami Heat will not win the title next season and not even the Eastern Conference crown, according to Boston.com. The former Boston Celtics great, who is fondly called “The Chief” during is playing days, believes that the “Big 3 Formula” will not work in South Florida the way it worked in Beantown. He cited that Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen joined Paul Pierce and the Celtics late in their career and they are matured enough to sacrifice their individual glory all for the sake of winning a championship. Parish sees it differently with the Heat as LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade are all under 30. He also said that the Heat are lacking a real point guard to backstop the new “Three Kings” and a low post threat as well at the center spot.
“One of the reasons why it worked out so well in Boston is Garnett and Allen were older players. Those guys [in Miami] are under 30, and are they going to be able to put their egos aside trying to carve out their niche, their legacy? It looks good on paper, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be a success on the court.
“I don’t see them coming out of the East because they don’t have a true point and true center, because [Zydrunas] Ilgauskas is not going to get it done against Shaq, Jermaine, and [Orlando’s] Dwight Howard.”
