Nick Young and JaVale McGee continue their summer work at HAX Real Run

According to Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress (via @DraftExpress), Nick Young and JaVale McGee are playing in the championship game at the HAX Real Run Pro League. The HAX Real Run league is played at the Hangar Altheletic Xchange in Los Angeles and typically features 6 teams featuring NBA players. The league, which runs from August 2 - 26 uses NBA rules and NBA refs.

Lineups: Javale McGee, Amir Johnson, Nick Young, Marcus Coleman vs Julian Wright, Shaun Livingston, Brandon Jennings, Pooh Jeter,Bobby Brown Via @DraftExpress

It appears that the rosters may have changed since they were originally posted. According to the HAX website, Nick Young was originally listed as part of Team ESPNZone with "Mike Mayo, DJ Strawberry, O. Ibekwe, Ron Artest, Shaun Livingston, James Wright, Brian Cook, Ray Reid, Ron (?) and Marcus Palmer." At that point, likely due to his commitment with TeamUSA, JaVale McGee was not listed as part of the team. By the way, Team PokerStars.Net included former Wizard(?) Javaris Crittenton. It appears that Javaris is hoping to generate some interest from other NBA or European teams.

UPDATE:

It appears that Nick Young's and JaVale McGee's team won the Championship:

Now all they need is to put out a rap song about it

God, I miss watching those two. The season needs to start asap.

Nice to see Crittenton is apparently healthy, I really liked the guy. He might not be good for our team any more, but I think he deserves a shot with someone like Memphis or NO that could use a backup pointguard or shooting guard.

What exactly

do you miss about watching Nick Young play basketball? He hucks 3’s and play no defense.

I believe his point is simply

That he misses basketball season.

He's got valid points about NY's bad habits

He does some good stuff, though, but maybe most of all at this point, he’s a lot of fun to watch. Yeah, he might take two “what in the world was he thinking?” shots a game, but he’ll usually make one of them (thinking about that turnaround fadeaway three in the summer league).

And yeah, it’s mostly just that I miss watching basketball. Plus, for all of their flaws, I always enjoy watching us play, especially now that Caron’s gone.

This sort of thing now and then is pretty cool

If nothing else...

It is good to know that they are playing “competitive” ball. I might feel even better if it was a skills camp or personally tutoring session, but I won’t get too carried away.
