The accolades just keep pouring in for LeBron James.

James, who has twice been named Eastern Conference player of the week this season and on Monday was named Sports Illustrated's Sportsman of the Year, was chosen as the Eastern Conference's player of the month for October/November.

It's the sixth time James has earned player of the month honors as a member of the Heat.

In 14 games, James averaged 25.0 points, 8.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.07 steals while shooting 53.3 percent from the field and 43.5 percent from 3-point range.

He led the team in scoring eight times, in assists 10 times, in rebounds eight times and in steals and blocks twice, while posting nine double-doubles.

He scored at least 20 points in each of the 14 games, a career-best, surpassing his previous high of seven 20-point games to start a season.

Kevin Durant, who James and the Heat battled in the NBA Finals last June, was named the Western Conference player of the month.
