Here are some pics from the 18th Annual Celebrity Basketball Game, with James Reynolds and other Days of Our Lives cast members from the past and present. The proceeds benefited the South Pasadena High School boys basketball team and the nonprofit Fremont Centre Theatre.

The game took place May 30 at South Pasadena High School.

I think Bryan Dattilo might be committing a foul on Brandon Beemer ;)
