LeBron James wore #2 on his jersey during the A-Stars to honor Gianna, Kobe Bryant's daughter. Both Kobe and his daughter tragically lost their lives in a helicopter crash in January.

The money generated from the auction will be donated to the Mamba On Three Fund, and the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation, in honor of late Kobe Bryant.

This season has been an excellent one for LeBron James. His team, the Los Angeles Lakers are currently sitting on top of the Western Conference rankings with a record of 47-13. They have been solid this season and are on the verge of making it to the playoffs. For the Lakers, this will be a first playoff visit after the 2012-2013 season.

The Lakers have won their last two games and will be facing the Milwaukee Bucks tonight at home. This game will be an important one for both sides as they look to make a point before the real test begins.
