LEBRON ADVISING OHIO STATE QB: '(I'm) trying to mentor him and get him through "life in the spotlight," which I've been through.'
"(I'm) trying to mentor him and get him through 'life in the spotlight,' which I've been through," the Cleveland Cavaliers player said after a preseason game in Columbus on Wednesday night.
James, who was still a high school student in Akron, Ohio when he appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated under the headline "The Chosen One," has been speaking to Pryor on the phone in recent weeks doling out advice.
"Being that No. 1 guy, how do you adjust to it and how do you get through it and still perform at a high level?" James said, according to the AP. "Sometimes it can be very difficult on (a young athlete). I'm trying to be that guy who can really help him get through a lot of situations which he's never seen before but now he's seeing and understanding."
Pryor has been under fire from Ohio State fans after throwing two interceptions and losing two fumbles in the then-No. 7 ranked Buckeyes' stunning 26-18 loss at Purdue last week. They tumbled to No. 18 this week, and meet Minnesota on Saturday.
