Chris Brown & The Game -- Bloods Brothers Play in Anti-Gang Basketball Game

Chris Brown and The Game have been recruited in the fight to rid L.A. of violent gangs ... problem is, they both openly promote the Bloods.

A popular L.A. radio station -- Power 106 -- has organized a celeb basketball game this weekend at USC ... to benefit Homeboy Industries, a non-profit which gets gangbangers out of street gangs by getting them jobs.

Game and Chris are big b-ballers ... they're also famously affiliated with the dangerous street gang. You may recall ... Chris was throwing up gang signs the night of the Suge Knight shooting. As for Game ... his new album is called "Blood Money."

Other celebs will join Game and Brown for Saturday's event, including Nick Cannon, Trey Songz, Tyga, and Jason Derulo.
