    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">After years spent shying away from television interviews, LeBron James on Thursday lifted the curtain on his private life during an exclusive appearance on Oprah Winfrey's show.

    The Cavaliers' star forward brought his mother and his girlfriend along for the 10-minute segment, taped earlier this week at Winfrey's Harpo studios in Chicago.

    After Winfrey crowed that she had landed "the first in-depth television interview" with James, he entered the set dressed casually, appearing ready for the spotlight, but a little uneasy. He clasped hands with Winfrey for a minute as if to steady his nerves.

    Winfrey proceeded to fuss over the 20-year-old millionaire in motherly fashion. "I worry about you," the TV legend told him, saying she knew firsthand the pitfalls of fame and wealth.

    But James made it clear there was no reason for worry. When Winfrey asked if he regretted not going to college, he answered with an emphatic "No."

    "He's always been real intelligent about making decisions. He wouldn't have jumped and made that big of a step if he wasn't ready," added his mother, Gloria.

    Winfrey then asked how he handled the groupies who throw themselves at NBA players. "My mother taught me the difference between right and wrong," he assured her.

    His girlfriend of three years, Savannah Brinson, vouched for him. "I know he's a good person," she said from the audience. "I trust him." </div>

    Incidentally she's 5'7", just over a foot shorter than James. Also, if he is still growing (taller), he could potentially lose some quickness because of it. Though even as young as he is, most of his developmental growth is done.
