Cleveland Sports Awards: LeBron wins Professional Athlete of the Year

CLEVELAND: The Cavaliers provided the highlights of the 17th Annual Cleveland Sports Awards Thursday night at the Renaissance Hotel in Downtown Cleveland.

Cavs forward LeBron James received the Professional Athlete of the Year Award for his work on the court in bringing home an NBA championship, the city of Cleveland’s first major title in 51 years.

James wasn’t present to receive the award, but two Cavs luminaries — current color analyst for Fox Sports Ohio Cavs games Austin Carr and in-studio analyst Campy Russell.

Carr shared that he never doubted the team would pull out a win in Game 7.
