There goes a genius we have a lot to thank for. I bet Phil is pretty busted up right now.

RIP. Kobe used to call him yoda and left a heartfelt message on instagram.

My mentor. I sat with Tex and watched every minute of every game during our first season together (including preseason games) he taught me how to study every detail of the game. He was a basketball genius in every sense of the word. Basketball purest. I will miss him deeply. Thank you Tex. I wouldn’t be where I am today without you. Rest In Peace.

He had an amazing life and will miss him.
Wow. Considering he did his greatest work after the age of 70 w bulls and Lakers is just fascinating.
