PBA legends back ‘Skywalker’

Four-time MVP Alvin Patrimonio and Allan Caidic will reminisce their great years in the PBA as they play for one player very close to their hearts.

In what could be the biggest gathering of PBA legends, Patrimonio and Caidic will play in an exhibition game against the UNTV All-Stars on April 28 at Smart Araneta Coliseum.

The exhibition game, initiated by UNTV chair-CEO Daniel Razon and vice president Gerry Panghulan, is aimed at helping PBA great Samboy Lim, who fell into a coma after playing briefly in an exhibition game last Nov. 28.

Razon said the public service network is donating P1 million to Lim’s family.

“We know how Samboy helped make basketball as the country’s No. 1 sport,” said Razon. “And we are glad that the legends are coming back to help raise funds for Samboy.”

Caidic said he is grateful for the support of Lim’s former PBA teammates who accepted their invitation to play for Team Skywalker.

Also playing are Atoy Co, Ed Cordero, Jojo Lastimosa, Pido Jarencio, Hector Calma, Franz Pumaren, Olsen Racela, Bong Ravena, Ato Agustin, Art dela Cruz, Freddie Abuda, Alvin Teng, Ronnie Magsanoc and Tonichi Yturri.
