Samboy Lim

Avelino Borromeo Lim, Jr. (born April 1, 1962), better known as Samboy Lim, is a former professional basketball player of the Philippine Basketball Association and many time national player in the 1980's. As a shooting guard, the iconic Lim distinguished himself with his above-the-rim play and often dangerous forays to the basket, punctuated by dazzling acrobatic shots, hang-time moves or a slam dunk, thus earning comparisons with his idol Julius Erving and Michael Jordan. He is currently the Team manager of the Barangay Ginebra Kings in the PBA. Samboy did not win a Most Valuable Player Award because he did not get to complete a full season due to the many injuries he sustained on the court. However, he is considered by many to be a very popular and well loved PBA cager because the impact he made in Philippine basketball, is truly phenomenal!
