A netizen commented on her post and wrote, “Wow sana all (lol emoji). Naka gloves pa talaga ‘di puwede siguro hawakan ‘pag walang gloves protection hehehe.”
However, the beauty queen clarified that there’s no problem holding the jersey with bare hands, but it was soaking wet that they provided her gloves to use.
“Puwedeng hawakan ng walang gloves. Pero basang basa kasi kaya nag provide sila (smile emoji).”
Some commenters were in awe just how lucky Pia was for having the chance to cover the NBA All-Star Weekend and hold Lebron’s jersey. Some also joked if the best basketball player’s jersey smells good even when it was covered in sweat.
The blue jersey of Lebron is still available for auction, together with other NBA valuable players’ jerseys. According to NBA Auctions site, all proceeds from the auction will be donated to Mamba on Three Fund and the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation to honor the Basketball Legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna.
Pia Wurtbach is a Filipina-German artist, model, and beauty queen. She was crowned as Miss Universe in 2015. After her reign, she landed the lead role in the 2018 romantic film, “My Perfect You” opposite Gerald Anderson.
Just recently, the beauty queen caught the attention of netizens when Pia was allegedly spotted with a handsome guy in New York. The suspected person was Jeremy Jauncey, a 34-year-old model, entrepreneur, and professional traveler who is also known as “The Hottest Male Traveler on The Planet.”
This instantly brought “kilig” vibes to fans. Netizens find Pia and Jeremy cute together and they see nothing wrong if they are really dating because it’s been a while since the 30-year-old actress and Marlon Stockinger broke up.
