COLUMBUS, Ohio -- LeBron James is helping Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor learn how to handle everything that comes with being a celebrity athlete.

"[I'm] trying to mentor him and get him through 'life in the spotlight,' which I've been through," James said after a preseason game in Columbus on Wednesday night.

James said he has been speaking to Pryor on the phone in recent weeks to try to help him deal with celebrity at a young age. James knows something about that, since he appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated under the headline "The Chosen One" while he was still in high school in Akron, Ohio.

This is the second time in less than a week that I've had to edit your post for posting an entire article. Consider this a warning. A paragraph or 2 and the link is quite enough.

Even Shaq wanted to get a word in.

Pryor is a dumbass and I hope LeBron talked so sense into him, but I doubt he took anything away from it becauses hes a moron.

It's interesting in that they were both highly celebrated at such a young age, but Lebron kept developing and working. Pryor hasn't improved one iota since he got to C-Bus, and from what I hear from people around the program, doesn't care much about it. I wouldn't call him an idiot, but he's not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Maybe he can draw motivation from Lebron and some of his work wthic will rub off on him. God knows the Buckeyes need it. I'd bench him if I were Sweater Vest.
