Watching those Samboy Lim clips of tagahanga, Williamreallyhung and the 90s PBA videos of Preyes, you would wish you go back in those days and felt sorry on the present state of Philippine Basketball, the passing of time has damaged the once proud-PBA, and basketball is still popular everywhere, but the PBA is getting less popular.

Prime Vergel Meneses is the closest thing to a Prime Samboy Lim.

Agree, Meneses is the closest ever to a Samboy Lim, unlike Mr.Excitement, Paul Alvarez who stuffs the ball ang hangs in the rim, Meneses does more aerial acts, acrobatic shots.Comment

The only thing that kept him from playing year in and year out on a regular basis was his injuries.Comment

My personal favorite was Samboy Lim-Amazing moves, which features some highlights of the Ginebra-NCC game, like that song Mr.Tagahanga inserted in the video too, can't remember the title.Originally posted by Lebron23 View PostSAMBOY LIM San Miguel vs Beijing 5 Selection

Here's why basketball is loved more before by the Filipino Public than now.
If you cannot amaze people with your intelligence, confuse them with your stupidity.

Samboy Lim is like Grant Hill of the NBA. Would've been one of the greatest ever if not for injuries...
Danny Seigle is probably the Samboy of the new millenium...
I still have autographs of the Skywalker...

Seigle and Samboy: A Tale of Two PBA Stars
By BRIAN YALUNG
March 1, 2011, 2:29pm
MANILA, Philippines – While Danny “the Dynamite” Seigle may be sitting on pins and needles these days, he has had a wonderful PBA career.
Whatever happens on the supposed PBA trade being drawn up between by San Miguel Beer and Air21, every Filipino will agree that Seigle is without a doubt one of the greatest players to play in the Philippine Basketball Association.
Looking back to history, Seigle can be compared to the plight of another San Miguel legend. He goes by the name of Avelino “Samboy” Lim otherwise known as the “Skywalker”.
Just like Lim, Seigle’s career had been hampered by a spate of injuries.
Perhaps the most serious one that has made “the Dynamite” injury-prone in the latter years was the one he suffered when he joined the RP National Training Pool for the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, North Korea.
It was in this year that Seigle suffered a serious torn right Achilles tendon after making a shot during one of the team’s pre-Asian Games against team Qatar.
He was unable to play for the team and sat out most of the 2003 season due to the injury.
Both Seigle and Samboy were never named the PBA’s season MVP.
However, Seigle does have PBA Best Player of the Conference Awards (2005-2006) and 3 PBA Finals MVP Awards (1999-2000). He has never played for any other team other than San Miguel Beer and has helped the ballclub win 6 PBA championships.
As for Samboy Lim, he holds the distinction of being one of the 25 PBA Greatest Players, a member of the 1989 Grand Slam team and being the first ever recipient of the PBA Sportsmanship award.
Lim has savored the PBA gold for 7 times, 6 with San Miguel Beer and one with Northern Consolidated back in 1985 under coach Ron Jacobs.
The farthest both players have gone was to be named to PBA Mythical
Teams during their tenure. They haven’t relished winning an MVP.
However, with PBA championship rings to their credit, no one can take away the fact that both players did serve the San Miguel Franchise.
Lim now acts as the team manager for PBA crowd darling Barangay Ginebra while Seigle is obviously at the twilight of his career.
On whether the impending trade does materialize, the fact is that Danny Seigle will be always identified as a San Miguel Beerman.
Seigle will forever be known as someone who had helped the SMB franchise win 6 PBA crowns.
Such a feat is an achievement coveted by any professional basketball player, something many perceive is a fulfillment in its own right.LABAN KUNG LABAN! KAYA NATIN PILIPINAS!
Mabuhay ang TEAM PILIPINAS !!!!
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!
THE DREAM LIVES ON !!!!

Our version of Dywane Wade. Quick first step, fantastic footwork, elevation, soft release after contact.
The PBA should do this more often. I want to see players that has retired 5-10yrs ago play on the court again.Comment
