“Andy” 
      American basketball player (b. March 7, 1922, Granite City, Ill.—d. April 29, 2001, Rancho Mirage, Calif.), was an All-American basketball player at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the first National Basketball Association (NBA) player to make 500 assists in a single season (1952). In 1943 he led an Illinois team that fans had dubbed the “Whiz Kids” to an undefeated season and was selected the national College Player of the Year. After service in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II, Phillip played in the Basketball Association of America—the forerunner of the NBA—from 1947 to 1950 and in the NBA from 1950 to 1958. In 1957 he helped lead the Boston Celtics to the first of the team's 16 NBA titles. Phillip was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1961.
