Doncic was also asked (by Michael Kay of YES Network) about Judge playing basketball.

Kay: "Were you surprised by how big Judge was?"

Doncic: "Yeah, I was amazed. When you see on TV, he don't look like that."

Kay: "Think he can play basketball, or is he too jacked?"

Doncic: "He can play. I think power forward."

Judge (who is currently hurt) is in the middle of another strong season.

He is batting .342 with 37 home runs and 85 RBI's.

Via @OptaSTATS: "Aaron Judge is the first player in MLB history to hit 33 or more home runs before the All-Star break in three different seasons (2022, 2024 and 2025)."

The Yankees lost to the Rays by a score of 4-2.

They are currently the second-place team in the American League East with a 57-49 record.

Last season, Judge led the Yankees to the World Series for the first time since 2009.

Via The MLB: "Luka Dončić pulled up to Yankee Stadium to meet Aaron Judge and was gifted a pair of Judge's PE "Double Gum" cleats and a game-used bat "

As for Doncic, he spent the first six and a half years of his career with the Dallas Mavericks before getting traded to the Lakers last season.
