The game was postponed. Phills, 30, who began his NBA career with the Cleveland Cavaliers , was traveling at a "very high rate of speed" when he collided with a car headed toward the coliseum, police spokesman Keith Bridges said. A minivan rear-ended the other car. Two people in those vehicles were hospitalized. Witnesses said teammate David Wesley , the Hornets' starting point guard, also may have been driving too fast in his own Porsche, according to police. Wesley's car wasn't involved in the accident, and he was questioned at the scene.

He never, never took that for granted." Mark Bartelstein, Phills Chicago-based agent "When I got him as a client, he was struggling with making the NBA. Once he got the big deal, to him, it was if nothing had ever really happened. The same laughs we had when he was struggling were the same laughs we had when he got that big contract. "To me, its just devastating. Im just devastated. The guy was not just my client, he was my friend. We spoke just last night, which makes this an even harder day. To think these two kids will grow up without a father is what I keep thinking about. Thats the really terrible, awful thing about this. The world lost a great father and person today." Bartelstein on Phills rise from making the NBA minimum to signing a 7-year, $32.48 million deal with Charlotte in 1997 "Bobby Phills was all that you would want in a human being. ... He had extreme high character. A family man. I cant tell you what he meant to the Cavs. If theres a person you would want to your children to be, a role model, its Bobby Phills. This is a sad day."

Former Southern University basketball great Bobby Phills departed this life on Wednesday, January 12, following a fatal two car accident in Charlotte, North Carolina. "In the loss of Bobby Phills we have truly lost a great person, a great father, a great husband and a great mentor," lamented Southern University head basketball coach Tommy Green, a mentor of Phills's as the assistant coach during the star athlete's collegiate basketball career at Southern. "When people talk about Bobby (Phills) most of the discussion will surround his prowess on the basketball court," Green continued, "but to know him personally is to know a true class act." Bobby Phills began his collegiate career at Southern in the summer of 1987 in search of a Bachelor of Science degree in pre-veterinary medicine, his chosen field of study. However, along the way an overwhelmingly gifted basketball athlete was discovered in Phills with life's journey leading him down a different path to success.
