At this point, it's probably quicker to list the things that Manny Pacquiao hasn't accomplished rather than to try to run down his full list of achievements.

He's the first and only eight-division world boxing champion, a member of Philippines congress, an actor, and a recording artist. Along with those accolades he's also the part owner of a team in the Philippine Basketball Association.

Because just being the owner of the team would be setting the bar fairly low for himself, Pacquiao is also the coach of the team - the Kia Sorentos - as well as the team's 2014 first round pick, where he was selected 11th overall. Yes, the 35-year-old is the oldest rookie drafted in league history, and at 5-foot-6, is the shortest player in the entire league.

Despite seeming to have absolutely no room for free time with a resume like that, Pacquiao was in California this week to promote his upcoming bout with Chris Algieri. Pac-man took advantage of the opportunity to attend Golden State Warriors basketball camp, running drills and playing pickup hoops with his fellow professional basketball players.

The WBO welterweight champion displays form that is probably a below what you'd expect from a first round pick, but light years ahead of what you'd get from most other coaches and owners.
