Senator Manny Pacquiao made a very exciting 3-point shot during the PBA All Star Weekend 2016 this Friday night, August 5. But unfortunately, his shot is ‘not-counted’ because it did not beat the buzzer, as he ran out of time. Nevertheless, Sen. Pacquiao showed his basketball skills and was notably good enough. Watch video below.
As aired at TV5, the Greats vs Stalwarts,Blitz game featured some of legendary PBA players such as Alvin Patrimonio, Ronnie Magsanoc, Noli Locsin, Bong Ravena and Johnny Abarrientos. Pacquiao, who is set to return to boxing this November, played for the Stalwarts, representing the Mahindra Enforcer team, formerly named Kia Carnival.
And although he had some couple of misses including a wide-open layup, fans were still thrilled with his fast moves and successful shots. Sen. Pacquiao, who replaced the injuries LA Revilla, had 9 points, including a 3-point shot and 3 layups, along with 2 assists in the first half alone. However, the 37-year old rookie senator missed his first three shots.
