RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 13 (UPI) -- We learned two things Wednesday from Draymond Green.

1. He still has a Snapchat account, despite previous transgressions.

2. He's still in pain from Kyrie Irving's dagger 3-pointer in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

Green used the social media service to comment on another Irving shot Wednesday at the Summer Games. This time Irving's shot helped Green's Team USA squad defeat Australia. Last time it was Irving's Cleveland Cavalier's knocking Green's Golden State Warriors out of the NBA championship.

In the fourth quarter of the 98-88 win over Australia, Irving dribbled to the right elbow before stepping to his right and hitting a fade-away 3-pointer. The shot was very similar to the one he hit over the Warriors' Stephen Curry.

"My son!!! That side step to the right was too familiar and wayyyy too soon...," Green wrote on the Snapchat video.

"My son, stepping up today big, he made big plays," Green said in the Snapchat post. "Good job son. That's what I'm talking about baby."
