LeBron James and former Cavaliers teammate Daniel Gibson remain friends despite some awkward moments during and after the two-time MVP's return to Cleveland on Thursday.

James called Gibson Saturday after the guard implied in an interview that his four-year friendship with James had been damaged after the Miami's 118-90 win over Cleveland.

LeBron implied that Gibson felt he was misquoted and said everything is now patched up between the two.

"Did he say that? Did he actually be quoted as me and LeBron's friendship is [over]?" James said. "I talked to Daniel today and it is all good. We're still friends."

When asked about the conversation before the Cavaliers took on the Timberwolves in Minneapolis, Gibson didn't want to elaborate to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

"Yeah, we did [talk]," Gibson said. "I'd rather not say exactly what it was about. It was more that we're both competitive people. We both want to win. That's what it's all about."
