For the second straight month, Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James has been named the Hickok Belt® Award winner. Voting was conducted by a select panel of members of the National Sports Media Association (NSMA). The voters selected James for his outstanding performance in the NBA Playoffs and averaging 26.0 points, 9.3 assists and 9.0 rebounds for the month.
Other finalists for the month of March in order of how the NSMA voters ranked them included: Patrick Reed (golf), Mookie Betts (baseball), Marc-Andre Fleury (hockey), Sean Manaea (baseball), James Harden (basketball), Jake Guentzel (hockey), Anthony Joshua (boxing), Joey Logano (auto racing) and Moriya Jutanugarn (golf).
His selection as the Hickok Belt® Award winner for the month of April 2018 recognizes LeBron James as “the best of the best” in professional sports for the month and again makes him eligible to receive the overall Hickok Belt® Award for 2018, joining Nick Foles as a 2018 back-to-back monthly winner.
