Joseph Henry Lim Yeo (born September 7, 1983) is a Filipino former professional basketball player. Nicknamed "The Ninja", he was drafted third overall by the Coca-Cola Tigers in 2006. He played 11 years in the PBA, winning two titles before having two different stints in the MPBL.
Yeo had been playing basketball since he was four years old, often against his cousin or his father. He looked up to PBA player Vergel Meneses. His father guided his development, enrolling him at a MILO basketball clinic. He took his primary and secondary education at Xavier School. In his senior year, he, alongside Ty Tang and Chris Tiu, led the Xavier Golden Stallions to a Tiong Lian Juniors title.
Yeo then played for the De La Salle Green Archers. Other schools from the NCAA tried to recruit him, but he chose DLSU as it was his dream school. He had also been practicing with DLSU since his third year of high school. He joined a rookie class that included Carlo Sharma and eventual Rookie of the Year Mark Cardona. As a rookie, playing limited minutes, he was a part of the Green Archers team that completed its quest for a four-peat by defeating Ateneo in the 2001 UAAP finals. From a UAAP rookie year in 2001 where he averaged of 3.4 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 9.5 minutes per game, he improved this to an average statline of 11.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 23.3 minutes in the 2004 season. In his final year, he was named to the Mythical Team. He led them to another finals appearance, but they lost to the FEU Tamaraws.
In the PBL, he led his team, Harbour Centre Batang Pier, to its first PBL crown alongside ex-Ateneo star LA Tenorio by winning the 2006 Unity Cup finals against Toyota Otis.
Yeo was drafted by the now-defunct Coca-Cola Tigers as third overall pick in 2006, just behind Kelly Williams and Arwind Santos. As a rookie, he played limited minutes as a reliever to Tiger's main-man John Arigo. Despite the limited playing time, he still managed to average 10 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 26 minutes per contest halfway into the elimination round of the 2006-07 PBA Philippine Cup. For the season, he averaged 7.4 points in 32 games.
In 2007, he was traded, along with a future draft pick, to Sta. Lucia for forwards Mark Isip and Cesar Catli. As a Realtor, he effectively played his off-the-bench role, winding up as the team's second-best scorer behind Kelly Williams with a 13.5-point average, and became a vital cog of the team that won the 2007–08 PBA Philippine Cup. In Game 2 of the PBA finals, he scored 16 points as Sta. Lucia took a 2–0 lead. Purefoods took Game 3 and in Game 4, he was flagrantly fouled by James Yap. Yeo retaliated, and as a result, was banned from Game 5. His teammates were able to step up in his absence, and Sta. Lucia won the championship in seven games. During the 2008 Fiesta Conference, against the Talk 'N Text Phone Pals, he led his team with 29 points to send Sta. Lucia to the quarterfinals.
During the 2008–09 Philippine Cup, Yeo scored a career-high 38 points in a win over the San Miguel Beermen.
In 2010, he was dealt to San Miguel Beermen for Bonbon Custodio. While playing for the Beermen, he spent most of his time on the bench and in the injured list, and did not play with the team that won the 2011 PBA Governors' Cup championship. The following season, although he had recuperated from his injury, he was often on the bench.
