CLEVELAND -- LeBron James was the talk of Friday morning radio, but not because of the playoffs game against the Celtics.

It had to do with what some are calling a bad tip James left at XO in the Warehouse District.

James reportedly left a $10 tip on an $800 bill, but the owner of the restaurant said the story is only partially true.

It happened in February, and James did leave a $10 tip, the owner said.

But he said that when James realized the mistake, he returned to the restaurant the next day and left an appropriate tip.

XO's owner said James is not a bad tipper.
