From Southern Laboratory School to Southern University and on to the NBA, Bobby Phills was widely regarded as the best three-point shooter in Southern University history. As a senior in 1990-91, he led the nation with an average of 4.39 three-pointers per game and made 123 three-point baskets in a single season. The Baton Rouge native was selected forty-fifth overall in the 1991 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks. He also played for the Cleveland Cavaliers and Charlotte Hornets, and during his NBA career he was primarily known for his defensive prowess, earning second-team NBA All-Defensive honors in 1996.
