(NBA) LeBron James wins AP Male Athlete of the Year

MIAMI (AP) -- The only thing that keeps LeBron James up worrying at night is basketball, which simultaneously makes perfect sense and no sense.

On one hand, he's the game's best player.

On the other, he's rarely impressed with himself.

Or, technically, more greatness, since his enormous list of accomplishments just keeps growing.

Weidman holds the UFC's middleweight belt, courtesy of a dramatic knockout victory of long-time champion Anderson Silva at UFC 162 in July. The public perception, though, is that Silva lost that bout, not so much that Weidman won it.
