Lim Eng Beng is one of the best guards that I've ever seen locally. Idol yan namin ni pareng Coltrane. We always talk about who in this modern era could have matched his basketball skills and fundamentals. Though stocky and not possessing great athleticism nor lightning speed, the guy could maraud any defender and score at will. His team with Julie Lim, Bilbao, Escober (sp) was one of the greatest collegiate teams we've seen. Today, our only debate was who was better between him and Atoy Co in their college days. And those were the great college basketball that I miss, without Fil-ams nor recruitment from other high school teams. But since the world has changed, so did local basketball. And I agree, Billy, Beng should have been cryo'd then, but then again, he could be recruited today by other teams with 'money'.
