Exhibition Game: Skywalker All Stars vs. UNTV Cup All Stars

Before the much-awaited championship match between Malacañang Patriots and Judiciary Magis, a special tribute game dubbed the "Skywalker All Star Exhibition Game" was held for the benefit of Samboy Lim and his family. On November 28, 2014, Lim has been rushed to a hospital unconscious after collapsing just minutes after coming out of an exhibition game.[8] He slipped into a coma, and was first admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of the Medical City, before he was later transferred to the intermediate care unit.[9] On January 14, 2015, he slipped out of his comatose state and was brought home where he will continue to receive treatment and therapy.[10] With Daniel Razon's idea, in behalf of the players' name, UNTV Cup donated money to Lim's family in order to help in Samboy's recovery.[11]

The UNTV Cup All Star selection faced former professional basketball players that were previous teammates of Lim.[12]
