Cavaliers' LeBron James on Giants' Odell Beckham: 'I just try to be a guidance for him'

NEW YORK -- If anyone can relate to the scrutiny Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is subjected to, it's LeBron James.

The Cleveland Cavaliers forward has been in the spotlight since he was the No. 1 pick in the 2003 NBA Draft out of high school. It's no surprise then that two of the biggest stars in their respective sports have developed a friendship.

"I just try to be a guidance to him and give him words of advice when he needs it and when he wants it," James said on Saturday morning before the Cavaliers' shootaround at Madison Square Garden.
