What can we add to the story reporting that The Associated Press Named Lance Armstrong its 2004 Male Athlete of the Year? Here’s the highlight:
Already recognized as one of the truly inspiring athletes of his generation, Armstrong took his cycling legacy a step further when he won a record-breaking sixth consecutive Tour de France in July.
And for his accomplishment, he was honored Monday as The Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year for the third straight year.
Armstrong joined Michael Jordan (1991-93) as the only athletes selected by sports writers and broadcasters three straight times since the honor was first awarded in 1931.
