Former NBA player Daniel Orton
learned a lesson that many boxers have been taught in the past: You may
land a shot on Manny Pacquiao, but you'll likely lose eventually.
Orton, a 6-foot-10 center, was fined and released from the Purefoods
Star Hotshots of the Philippine Basketball Association late last week
after chiding Pacquiao's basketball ability after a game.

scored just one point in four Philippine Basketball Association games
this season.
The 5-foot-6 Pacquiao, who has a May 2 fight scheduled against Floyd
Mayweather and is also a congressman in the Philippines, has been a
player-coach for the Kia Carnival this season and scored one point in
the victory against the Hotshots.
