Judge is in his ninth season in the MLB (all with the Yankees).

He has made six All-Star Games and won the 2017 Rookie of The Year and the 2022 MVP.

The 32-year-old is on his way to becoming one of the most notable Yankees ever.

The Yankees are in first place in the American League East with a 76-53 record in 129 games.

They have a slim 2.5-game lead over the Baltimore Orioles.

Based on the way the team has played (in addition to Judge's brilliance), there is an excellent chance that he could win his second AL MVP.

As for Green, he is coming off his 12th season in the NBA (all with Golden State).

The former Michigan State star finished the year with averages of 8.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 49.7% from the field and 39.5% from the three-point range in 55 games.

However, the Warriors lost to the Sacramento Kings in the play-in tournament, so they missed the NBA playoffs.
