Early Accolades and Rising Stardom:

Drafted by the Chicago Stags in 1947, Phillip became the first player to record 500 assists in a single season just two years later. This record stood for 12 years, a testament to his innovative and unselfish playmaking style.

During his career, he led the National Basketball Association (NBA) in assists twice and was named to the NBA All-Star team five times.

Championship Glory and Lasting Impact:

Phillip enjoyed championship success, playing a crucial role in the Boston Celtics' 1957 NBA Championship victory.

He retired in 1958 with impressive career averages of 9.1 points and 5.4 assists per game.



As one of the first players to prioritize and excel in the role of a facilitating point guard, Phillip's impact extended beyond his own statistics. He paved the way for future generations of point guards who focused on orchestrating offense and creating opportunities for their teammates.

Beyond the Stats: A Legacy of Innovation:

Phillip's impact on the game goes beyond the box score. He was recognized for his exceptional passing skills, court vision, and leadership.

He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1961, solidifying his place among the game's greatest players and influencers.
