Common card · No. 384163

Avelino "Samboy" Borromeo Lim Jr. (April 1, 1962 – December 23, 2023), nicknamed "The Skywalker", was a Filipino professional basketball player of the Philippine Basketball Association and the national team in the 1980s and 1990s. As a high-flying wing, he distinguished himself with his flamboyant and often dangerous forays to the basket, punctuated by acrobatic shots, hang-time moves, or slam dunks. Lim was a five-time All-Star and two-time PBA Mythical Team selection, but he did not win a Most Valuable Player award because he did not complete a full season due to the multiple injuries he sustained on the court.
