LeBron James and Jim Boeheim are engaging in a war of words over Darius Bazley — well, they might not be, but it can get kind of hard to tell on social media sometimes. Boeheim made sarcastic comments about James and Bazley's relationship. James responded on Twitter, but now Boeheim is setting the record straight to show that he isn't mad.

It's weird seeing Boeheim on social media. The grumpy college coach doesn't tweet often so it was surprising to see him jump on Twitter dot com and reply to James.

Boeheim pretty much says what he wants and does what he wants. If he's getting tired on a recruiting trip, he'll take a nap right in his chair. If a reporter asks him a question about student-athletes receiving compensation, he'll say that they can keep their meal money instead (all while Boeheim collects upwards of $2 million per year).

He's a legend in Syracuse and practically owns the Carrier Dome. That doesn't mean he's any less of a grouch, and I have a hard time believing that he's happy for Bazley. Boeheim always seems to criticize guys for leaving school early or, in this case, skipping school altogether.

But in the end, life will go on for Jim Boeheim, LeBron James, and Darius Bazley. Boeheim should still have a top-25 team even without Bazley. James is getting used to his new digs in Los Angeles. Not to mention, Bazley has to be one of the highest-paid “interns” in the country, right?
