MANILA, Philippines -- Just three months after undergoing surgery to repair a torn right rotator cuff, Manny Pacquiao showed he's back to fighting form, not on top of the boxing ring, but inside the basketball court.
The 5-foot-6 Pacquiao assumed the role of a marksman for Mahindra, firing a team-high 19 points, spiked by five three-point shots to lead his team to a clinical 108-69 whipping of Goldstar-Davao on Saturday in a pocket tournament in General Santos City.
Mahindra team manager Eric Pineda likened the Enforcers' playing coach to Marvel comic book hero Wolverine for his ability to recover fast from an injury that helped inspire a rebuilding Mahindra side.
"Kita mo naman, kundisyon na si coach Manny dahil naka-19 points," a beaming Pineda told Philstar.com on Monday.
"Parang Wolverine. Si Kobe (Bryant), it took him six months to shoot eh si Manny three months Lang," he said.
