Pia Wurtzbach on covering NBA All-Star game: 'May puso talaga'

Pia Wurtzbach was in Chicago to cover the prestigious NBA All-Star game over the weekend.

On Instagram, Monday, Miss Universe 2015 said, "I guess it's safe to say this is the most exciting basketball game I've EVER watched. I was at the edge of my seat. Na stress ako!"

She also shared that her time with NBA during the whole weekend made her understand that it's really more than just a game. The fans, Pia continued, were more involved compared to other sports.

"There's a sense of family, even if you don't support the same teams. It's a sport that unites everyone," the beauty queen shared.

I understand the game but I'm really new to the NBA. What I learned during this whole weekend is that it's really more than just a game. Real talk, guys. I appreciate how involved the fans are. Probably more than any sport I've ever watched. There's a sense of family even if you don't support the same teams. It's a sport that unites everyone. I also noticed that the players, the organization, they really care about the kids most especially. May puso talaga. And for this All Star game? I guess it's safe to say this is the most exciting basketball game I've EVER watched. I was at the edge of my seat. Na stress ako! ???????? #NBAAllStar
