No player took flight quite like Samboy Lim, whose fearless drives, mid-air acrobatics, and relentless energy made him a fan favorite and a Philippine basketball icon. Though his career was riddled with injuries and shortened by his high-risk playing style, Lim still soared his way to 9 championships, including a pivotal role in San Miguel’s 1989 Grand Slam. Despite the absence of a Mythical Five selection or major individual awards, The Skywalker was immortalized for his impact on the court, highlighted by 2 Mythical Ten selections, a 1990 All-Star MVP, and the 1993 Sportsmanship Award. For fans and peers alike, Samboy wasn’t just admired—he was beloved, a player who gave everything to the game with every leap, every drive, and every slam.
