LeBron James added another trophy to his collection after taking this year’s Best Male Athlete award at the ESPYs. One month after helping Miami Heat team win another NBA championship, James won the accolade over Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera, Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson and Olympic champion swimmer Michael Phelps.
“To be in a category with All-Day AP, the Triple-Crown winner, and the human fish, it’s an honor,” said James, who won his fourth NBA MVP, second straight Finals MVP and second straight Best Male Athlete ESPY.
“Just to be in a class with you guys is an unbelievable honor. This is for all four of us. I’m just going to keep it [the ESPY] at my house.”
James also won a few more awards throughout the night, taking the trophy for Best Championship Performance, Best NBA Player, and he shared the achievement for the Best Team award.
