And a basketball fantasy league with Pamela Anderson?
Where did this happen?
The action was fast and furious Sunday night at NBA.com as 10 celebrities used the NBA.com League Manager to take part in the first NBA Cares Celebrity Fantasy League draft. All season long, these 10 celebs will play not only for bragging rights, but also for the charity of their choice as more than $100,000 will be donated as a part of the new NBA Cares initiative. All season long, they'll be going head-to-head using NBA.com points scoring every week for a good cause.
Check back each week on NBA.com to see how the celebrities are doing in this unique league as we see which celebrity knows his -- or her -- fantasy hoops.
