Conference. Nevertheless, the dragon, as he is often called besides the skywalker, settled for the Mythical Ten. In 1993, he was awarded with the first ever sportsmanship award for his exemplary behavior on the court. Lim is also a member of the Mythical Second Team Selection twice (1990 and 1993). His remarkable play was a joy to watch and he was a constant fan favorite because of his aerial maneuvers. However, also because of those seemingly inhuman skills, Lim suffered numerous serious injuries that limited his PBA career to just nine seasons. Despite the fact that he never won an MVP award, Lim was considered by fans as the "Real MVP." Throughout his career, he sported jersey no. 9 and wore knee-high socks, his testament and tribute to his idol Julius "Dr. J" Erving even though he stood only five feet eleven inches tall. Later career and retirement Lim retired from the professional league in 1997. In 1998, he joined the Philippine Basketball League to play for the Welcoat House Paints in a guest appearance, and he retired that year becoming its team manager. In 2000, he was named into the PBA's 25 Greatest Players. In his entire PBA career, he played for only one team, San Miguel Beer, he later served as San Miguel team manager. In 2006, he assumed the team manager post of SMB's sister team Barangay Ginebra Kings. In 2005, PBA fans had another chance to see him put his intensity and high-wire forays back on the court as he suited up for the PBA Greats Team. The PBA Greatest Game was held in the Araneta Coliseum as thousands of fans watched their favorite legends and great players of all time play. Lim scored 29 points that game. On October 6, 2016, the PBA renamed the Sportsmanship Award in his honor as he was the first recipient of the feat. It is given to a PBA player who most “exemplifies the ideals of Sportsmanship on the court - ethical behavior, fair play and integrity”.
