Timeline
Lim Eng Beng (November 10, 1951 – December 21, 2015) was a Chinese Filipino basketball player who spent twelve seasons in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) from 1975-1986.
Lim was born and raised in Tondo, Manila from an impoverished family.
When he was 5 or 6 years old, his family stayed in an informal settlement.
It was around this time where the young Lim would use his passion in basketball as a means to climb out of hardship and support his family.
Lim started playing for Chiang Kai Shek College in 1968.
With the help of his elder brother, he was recruited to its high school varsity squad where he led the team three consecutive championships.
His team often travelled to Taipei, Taiwan each year to play for an invitational basketball tournament, where his shooting skills earned him great reputation among the Taiwanese youth.
During his senior year after leading his school team to the championships for the third consecutive year, he was awarded the Most Outstanding Varsity Player by the school principal.
He joined China Bank in Manila, in 1970, to play in the inter-bank tournament and won the championship trophy.
Lim played for the De La Salle Green Archers of "Man In White" Coach Tito Eduque from 1971 to 1974.
In his rookie year, the Green Archers, led by himself and Mike Bilbao, won the 1971 NCAA men's basketball championship which was De La Salle's first NCAA title in 15 years.
Lim, who stood at 5'11 barefoot, was a deadly scorer that could single-handedly changed the complexion of a game.
By the time he was a junior in 1973, he was getting various offers from several teams in the MICAA.
However, Lim opted to stay for one more year upon the proddings of the late Br.
Gabriel Connon FSC, the president of De La Salle College, promising that he would be getting something special in return.
So for the final time, De La Salle's "Eagle Slayer", suited up for his beloved Green Archers.
In his senior year, he averaged 32 points per outing in the 1974 season and set a single-game record for the most points (men's basketball), which is 55 - a record that stands to this day.
He was adjudged the Most Popular NCAA Player, was cast into the Mythical Five, received the Sportsmanship Award, and ultimately won the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award.
To cap his stellar collegiate career, he steered the Green Archers to the 1974 championship.
As a reward for winning the 1974 NCAA men's basketball championship, Br.
Connon declared that his jersey number, 14, would be retired.
In 1975, when he started playing in the newly created PBA (Philippine Basketball Association), the Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce quickly awarded him as one of the four Most Outstanding Youth in the Chinese Filipino community.
Continually playing in professional basketball from 1975 to 1986, he was one of the few Chinese Filipino athletes in the Philippines to be recognized as a superstar athlete and have inspired many youths to follow his footsteps.
He was traded to U/Tex Wranglers after the first conference of the 1976 season.
After seven seasons with U/Tex from 1976-1982, Lim found himself being traded to San Miguel Beermen for Alex Tan prior to the start of the 1982 Third Conference.
As a wrangler, Lim won two PBA championships both in the Open Conference, first in 1978 and again in 1980 with Bogs Adornado as his teammate.
Lim was the Beermen's top scorer in the first two conferences of the 1983 season.
Retiring from the PBA in 1984 after 10 straight seasons, the former Green Archer return to action in the 1986 All-Filipino Conference with Manila Beer and played in all of their nine games.
In his disappointing comeback with the Brewmasters, Lim could only sink a dismal eight-of-20 from the floor.
In 1988, Lim became player/coach of AGFA Color in the Philippine Basketball League (PBL) until 1990.
In 1989, the Chiang Kai Shek Alumni Association awarded him a plaque of appreciation for the Most Outstanding Player representing the Philippines in International Tournaments.
From 1990 to 1999, he played as playing coach for his Batch 31 basketball team.
From 1997 to 2001, he represented the PCFBL (Philippine Chinese Filipino Basketball League), as playing coach in the World Chinese Basketball Tournament and in the ASEAN Chinese Basketball League.
Following are his and his team's accomplishments:
World Chinese Basketball Tournament:
In 1998, he was inducted into the DLSAA Sports Hall of Fame.
He claimed to have never missed a free throw during his college career.
Lim first played for Concepcion-Carrier Weathermakers (known as Quasar TV Makers in the following year) in the PBA's inaugural season.
He moved to Crispa in his 10th year as a pro, getting an opportunity to play for the winningest ballclub and won a championship with the Redmanizers.
Lim was named as one of the PBA's Greatest Players and inducted into the PBA Hall of Fame in 2013.
