Kyrie Irving likes Instagram video of LeBron James yelling at Cleveland Cavaliers teammates

Although he's now in Boston, Irving has had no issue keeping up with his former team.

Having spent three years as a teammate of LeBron James', Kyrie Irving is no stranger to the Cleveland Cavaliers megastar's fiery nature. So when Irving witnessed a video of James laying into his Cavaliers teammates on Thursday night, it elicited an impulsive -- or perhaps intentional -- response from the Boston Celtics guard, which manifested itself in the form of an Instagram like.

The video of James came from the Cavs' 133-99 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night -- Cleveland's second blowout defeat in as many games. Irving's Celtics, meanwhile, have now won seven straight contests following their 114-103 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers in London on Thursday.

James and Irving, of course, share a storied history, dating back to their three seasons as teammates in Cleveland and Irving's bitter departure from the Cavs this past offseason. Since the 4-time All-Star asked the team for a trade last July, he and James have traded passive-aggressive barbs on social media, while also extending the occasional virtual olive branch to one another.

While some may write Irving's 'like' off as a mistake, it's worth noting he's plenty experienced as an Instagram user. On Friday, he revealed on J.J. Redick's podcast that his infamous 'Earth is flat' comment from a year ago actually stemmed from an Instagram video he watched, which urged him to seek the truth.

You do you, Kyrie. You do you.
