His selection as the Hickok Belt® Award winner for the month of May 2018 recognizes LeBron James as “the best of the best” in professional sports and for the third time this year, makes him eligible to receive the overall Hickok Belt® Award for 2018, joining Nick Foles who won the award in back-to-back months earlier this year.
