Bobby Ray Phills II (December 20, 1969 – January 12, 2000) was an American professional basketball player. He played shooting guard and small forward for the National Basketball Association's Cleveland Cavaliers and Charlotte Hornets.

A native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Phills attended Baton Rouge's Southern University. He was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha.[1] He was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 1991 NBA draft (45th overall).

After being cut in December 1991 without playing a game for the Bucks, Phills had a stint with the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the Continental Basketball Association before being signed by the Cavaliers and rejoining the NBA late in the 1991–92 season. Over his nine-year career, he averaged 11.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game. He was known as a defensive stopper,[2] averaging 1.3 steals per game for his career, and an excellent perimeter shooter, with a 39.0% career three-point shooting percentage.

College

Phills attended Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and was a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. He led the NCAA in three-point field goals per game (4.39) his senior year.

Player profile

Though he made a name for himself as a shooter during his college career, Phills became known as a tenacious wing defender in the NBA. At 6' 5" and 220 pounds,[3] he was said to more resemble an NFL linebacker than a basketball player.[4] In 1996, Michael Jordan remarked that Phills was the toughest defender he had ever faced.[4]

Death

On January 12, 2000, while a member of the Charlotte Hornets, Phills was killed in a car accident in Charlotte, North Carolina. Phills was traveling behind teammate David Wesley at over {{convert|75|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on}} when his Porsche spun and crossed into oncoming traffic. It hit another car, which in turn was struck in the rear by a minivan.[5] The drivers of the other two vehicles recovered, while Phills was pronounced dead at the scene.[5] A police report said Phills and Wesley were driving "in an erratic, reckless, careless, negligent or aggressive manner."[6] Wesley was later convicted of reckless driving after being cleared of a racing charge.[5]

Personal Life

Phills was survived by his parents, his wife Kendall, and two children; a son Bobby Ray Phills III, known as Trey and a daughter Kerstie. Trey, gained statewide recognition in North Carolina while playing for Charlotte Christian School. He is currently a senior guard for the Yale Bulldogs. Kerstie is a sophomore at Florida Gulf Coast University.[7]

Legacy

The Hornets retired his #13 jersey number on February 9, 2000, in a game vs. Phills' former team, the Cavaliers. Phills was the first number that the Hornets franchise had ever retired. It continued to hang for the original Hornets franchise until the end of the first season when the team moved to New Orleans. In 2004, the NBA added an expansion team, the Charlotte Bobcats. After the New Orleans team re-branded themselves as the New Orleans Pelicans, thereby relinquishing the Hornets name and their previous history in Charlotte, the Bobcats became the Hornets and merged the team's past tenures into a new history for the franchise. On November 1, 2014, the newly renamed team rehung his jersey from the rafters of Time Warner Cable Arena.[8][9]
