I've no problem with Kevin Love, says LeBron James after tweets
Cavalier superstar insists he's on good terms with teammate despite cryptic Twitter post
Kevin Love may be one of LeBron James' 18.7 million followers on Twitter. But that is not how he communicates with his superstar teammate.
Love said he was blindsided this weekend when he found out James had posted a tweet aimed at him. Following practice, Love insisted he and James are on good terms.
"I was caught off guard when I heard about it," Love said of the cryptic tweet sent by James. "I talk to LeBron every day. There's no problem with us. He said if he had a problem with me or any of the coaches or training staff, he'd go right to them."
I gotta see him every day, so if I have something to say to him, I'll say it to his face
The social media mix-up began Saturday night when James tweeted: "Stop trying to find a way to FIT-OUT and just FIT-IN. Be apart of something special! Just my thoughts." The phrases "fit out" and "fit in" are the same words Love used earlier this season to describe how he was trying to mesh with his new team.
After Love scored a season-high 32 points in a win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, James initially told a large media group his tweets weren't intended for anyone. Later, he told a few reporters it was "not a coincidence" his tweet matched Love's words. Then, on Monday, James posted a tweet blaming reporters for concocting a story.
James did not feel the need to clarify his tweets after practice as the Cavs prepared for a rematch with Miami, who beat Cleveland on December 25 in the four-time MVP's first game against his former team.
James said if he had something to say to Love - or anyone - he would deliver it personally.
