You can't use parametric plot because that's a function for 2D graphics. You
might use ParametricPlot3D but then you'd have to obtain the parametric
equations of the sphere first (no big deal, though). But you may use
directly ContourPlot3D:
In[1]:=
<<Graphics`ContourPlot3D`
In[2]:=
ContourPlot3D[x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - 1, {x, -2, 2},
{y, -2, 2}, {z, -2, 2}, PlotPoints -> {3, 15}]
