David West is another Pacquiao fan.


For the latest Philippine news stories and videos, visit GMANews.TV"

Move over Kevin Garnett. There's another NBA player who's a fan of WBC Lightweight Champion Manny Pacquiao. New Orleans Hornets forward David West (fresh from the Hornets' win against the Clippers ) paid Manny Pacquiao a visit at the Wildcard Gym in Los Angeles, California. The Hornets forward admired how an impressive fighter Manny is. His speed and power is what made West a huge fan of the Filipino Fighter.

Pacquiao pretty much appreciated the nice gesture and even showed some of his own basketball moves to D-West. He was obviously impressed. Pacquiao himself is a huge NBA fan. Trainer Freddie Roach is not surprised of the visit and it's quite an everyday thing whenever Manny trains in LA for a big fight. Doesn't seem to be a distraction for him and Pacman.

Hollywood is not to be outdone of course by NBA players who wanted see the Southpaw from the Philippines train. Actor Mark Wahlberg even dropped by the gym to say hi. How cool is that? Getting some love not only in the NBA but also in Hollywood and the wrestling world. WWE Superstar Undertaker has long been a fan of Pacquiao. His popularity is just tremendous all over.

That is just a taste of what to expect come December 6 (December 7 in Manila) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. As there will be more celebrities (and Pinoy Politicians) that are going to be in attendance to watch two of the best fighters slug it out.

The Pacquiao vs. Dela Hoya fight is something not to be missed.
