CLEVELAND (AP) – LeBron James regained his crown.
After losing to former Indians pitchers the past two years, James was again chosen the city’s top professional athlete on Wednesday night at the Greater Cleveland Sports Awards, an event the superstar has skipped since his senior year in high school.
The NBA’s reigning MVP, James won the award for the fourth time, beating out Cavaliers teammate Mo Williams and Browns tackle Joe Thomas. Last year, James lost to AL Cy Young winner Cliff Lee, traded last year by the Indians. In 2007, James finished behind former Indians ace CC Sabathia, who helped the New York Yankees win the World Series last year.
Cavs general manager Danny Ferry accepted the award on behalf of James, who hasn’t attended since 2003.
