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.
[Pacquiao playing] is a joke," said Orton, who was the Hotshots' designated foreign player. "... Professional boxer? Yeah. Congressman? All right. But professional basketball player? Seriously? It's a joke."
