James: 'I get jealous of Durant'

LeBron James has admitted that he sometimes feels "jealous" when he looks at Kevin Durant's shooting statistics.

The Oklahoma City Thunder forward is currently the NBA's leading scorer this season, averaging 29.8 points per game.

The four-time MVP told ESPN: "I get jealous sometimes when I look over at KD and he's like 16-for-32 [from the field] and then 14-for-34, man.

"But there are games where I have it going, and then at the end of the game, I'm like, damn, I shot just 12-for-16? Why don't I get up at least six or seven more? I definitely notice it.

"First of all, you have to have an unbelievable mindset to get up 30 shots. I always think about it, though. If I get up high-20s, 30 shots a game, what could I do today, with the way I'm playing?"

The Miami Heat forward currently ranks third in the league with an average of 26 points.
