Better Player: Alonzo Mourning or Robert Parish

[SelakStreet]

Who do you consider to be the better player during their pre-prime, prime and post-prime seasons: Alonzo Mourning or Robert Parish?

Mourning for peak and 5 years prime. Parish for everything else.

Zo finished 2nd in MVP one season so he's got to have the prime advantage. Chief has some crazy old age seasons (12.6/9.4 at age 39!) so post prime is him without question, though Zo in the 2006 finals deserves big respect (don't know what the numbers say, but he felt more valuable than Shaq).

Parish is probably my favorite center of all time and had 18 good to great seasons.
But he never had a run like Zo had his first 8 years in the league.
Parish was not really a number 1 option like Zo was.

Zo honestly might have a top 20 all-time peak. He was CRAZY good on defense. He just didn’t have the durability or the longevity to have a top superstar career.

I feel like Zo is very clearly better than parish p4p and all time although parish has more longevity
