LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are good friends. As the story goes, it's part of the reason why James joined the Heat in the first place. And as friends do, they like to rib each other a little bit and get a good laugh.

Well, on Tuesday night, they took to Twitter and exchanged some good-hearted barbs at each other for the world to see.

Wade threw out the first punch, seemingly out of nowhere.

What does men PLATFORM shoes and @KingJames LINING have in common?? They both gone and ain't NEVER coming back.. Dwyane Wade

DwyaneWade

FYI: "LINING" is, I'm guessing, another word for hairline.

LeBron responded.

@DwyaneWade oh look at who roasting right now! Haaaaaaa!! Funny man now LeBron James

KingJames

A few minutes later, James countered with a soft hook.

What does Ceasar from Planet of Apes and @DwyaneWade have in common? Tell Dwade to take his socks off and you'll see LeBron James

KingJames

Confession: I've never read or watched Planet of the Apes so I can only assume this is an insult about hairy feet. Sick burn!

Your turn, Wade.

What does Dirk jumpshot and @KingJames LINEUP have in common??they both have hella ARC in the corners.. Dwyane Wade

DwyaneWade

Wade is going in on James' receding hairline along with the rest of peanut gallery.

James fights back!

What does Ronald McDonald and @DwyaneWade have in common? They both 6'2 and wear size 20 shoe!! LeBron James

KingJames

You see, Wade is shorter than LeBron, but has big feet! Count me in as someone who wouldn't take offense to having big feet for my height. Although, I guess in NBA circles, the implication is that you're shorter than you're supposed to be.

Yall couldn't think I was done-Wht does Morgan Freeman & @KingJames have n common?? They both been OLD-since we've known of em.. Dwyane Wade

DwyaneWade

Get it? LeBron looks old.

Just to make sure no one read too far into these tweets, Wade offered this disclaimer. The message: everyone relax.

Jus gave yall alil insight of @KingJames & my relationship-its not tht serious people-We like to enjoy life and have fun-Were n on the jokes Dwyane Wade

DwyaneWade

LeBron approves of Wade's message and professed his love to "u all."

@DwyaneWade Yes sir! Are friendship goes beyond playing basketball! And we have no problem with making fun of ourselves! Love u all LeBron James

KingJames

That was fun, wasn't it?

Thanks, Twitter!
