Basketball Imitator @BdotAdot5 Takes Aim at Manny Pacquiao's Shooting Form

Never shoot like this...unless you're playing HORSE.

Manny Pacquiao really likes basketball. He would delay a fight to watch a playoff game and play in the Phillipines' professional basketball league even as he trains for the biggest fight of his life.

Pacquiao also has a terrible shooting form. For some reason, either because that's his preference or he just doesn't know any better, he pulls the ball behind his head as he rises for the shot. Look at the 17-second mark below. Or maybe just look at the screencap. Note that ill-positioned ball and that tongue action. It's all off.

The ever-diligent @BdotAdot5, the creator of the James Harden, Russell Westbrook, and Manu Ginobili parodies, took note and decided to take a shot at Pac-Man's bad form. Watch it, study it, and realize shooting like that just isn't the way.
