Yea right, athlete of the year. Signs a 2 year contract then complains about not being able to go on vacation with his family (during a pandemic) because of too short of an off season

Yes = who else could have single handedly caused the demise of the NBA ratings? Takes a 'special' guy to do that.

As much good as LeBron has done, he’s always going to have his fair share of detractors. Let’s just call them what they really are, haters.

LeBron definitely deserves this award, but hey, it’s subjective, so a bunch of athletes are more than deserving.
