"I do get jealous, I'm not gonna lie," he revealed. "I get jealous sometimes when I look over at KD and he's like 16-for-32 and then 14-for-34."

"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?"

Also noteworthy in there: He said he's going to go off and torch Washington.

Lebeta is just trolling Dubeta imho. if he wants to take more shots he can just go back to Cleveland, where the fans still love him and would welcome him any day.

Either LeBron is a troll genius or he's ing re ed at Math... based on that quote

I do think he is trolling and scoffing at the Durant for MVP talk. I don't blame him he is clearly the better player. But he is also full of to some degree. People paint him as so unselfish but its obvious he cares about stats such as efficiency and notices the scoring numbers Durant and others put up. I'm glad he plays the right way and takes great high quality shots. But if he wants to chuck a few heat checks a night he has earned that right with the Heat he doesn't need to return to Cavs. A big reason his fg%, and true shooting% is so high because he has pretty much eliminated heat check and hero shots from his game except at end of quarters. He can sacrifice his efficiency to take more shots but doubt he wants that...taking 30 jumpers is less taxing then pounding the lane for high % shots. And he was just commenting last week about hard fouls ...maybe he would like a big to take that punishment so he can loft jumpers. Either way interesting stuff but I aint mad at him just think he is too stat conscious.

Then take more shots, you whiny .

It's not like Spoelstra or your teammates or Riley or anybody for that matter is going to stop you.

happy new year, Jam and I agree. I also notice he did the same with the I could win scoring les if I wanted stuff a few years back. LeBron is clearly the best player. But I do question his mental makeup at times ...

I think Lebron is similar to Shaq in the sense that he's an attention . Lebron wants attention on him at all times whether its good or bad.

What a beta personality ... If ur shooting over 50% u should automatically take more shots. Pussy Lebron tbh

[LnGrrrR]

^ this

[Katherine Robinson]

Lebron shoots almost 60% this season, I believe he is very careful about his shot selection and doesn't want to be a sub-50% shooter so we won't see him shooting over 20 shots very often. He could score 32+ ppg, but he will hover much closer to 50%

[UZER]

Lebron cant miss what he doesn't shoot.

[Riddler]

lol lots of butthurt in here. He's trolling obviously.

[look_at_g_shred]

Is he saying, can't wait for next year when i'm back in Cleveland taking more shots.

at Kirbystan having the nerve to scoff LeBron manipulating the media when Kirby does it all the time, tbh....

[Arcadian]

He probably should be taking more shots, tbh. He only has a few years left in his prime. Go all out.

He's too beta. No matter how good he is, he'll never be alpha.

I think it's genetics, some players just have that alpha trait about them. Westbrook, Lillard, Kirby da rapist, Melo, KG, Manu etc

Beta examples Bron, Durant, Dawhite etc

[Clipper Nation]

at good shot selection being beta now....

[Riddler]

at good shot selection being beta now....

Game 7 really ed dem s up.

at good shot selection being beta now....

If he could replicate his game 7 performance every game, why doesn't he? Too beta? Fluke?
