Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has been named the Associated Press' Male Athlete of the Year in recognition of his achievements on and off the court in 2020.
James has won the award four times, which ties a record set by Lance Armstrong and Tiger Woods for the male award.
He finished with 78 points in the voting, which was conducted by 35 AP customers and editors, barely defeating Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who had 71 points. The third-place finisher was seven-time Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton, who had 14 points.
