Pia Wurtzbach holds LeBron's All-Star Game jersey

Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach got to hold the jersey worn by LeBron James at the NBA All-Star Game on Monday (Manila time).

In a photo posted on her Instagram account, the beauty queen wore black gloves while proudly showing the blue jersey bearing James' name.

The Los Angeles Lakers star wore number 2 instead of his usual 23 to honor Gianna Bryant, Kobe Bryant's 13-year-old daughter who died with the basketball legend in a helicopter crash.

Team LeBron beat Team Giannis 157-155 in the game, which the NBA tweaked to include a tribute for Bryant.

James' jersey and several others are available for auction at the NBA website, with the proceeds going to the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation, Pia said.
