Scottie Pippen would reveal that he was talking about the 2016 NBA Finals. Yeah, the time LeBron James won with Kyrie Irving.

Sure enough, fans rushed to social media to back up Kyrie Irving.

I already told you, Man! Who the hell is Kyrie Irving to you? Slava Medvedenko? https://t.co/Tfg3UrhQ86

Kyrie Irving averaged 27 points in a Finals series just to be referred to as “no help” years later. This is exactly why he left LeBron. https://t.co/95CjeQQJAV

Scottie Pippen might want to check his notes.

Love him or hate him, Kyrie Irving is a bonafide star. And there is no chance LeBron James and the Cavs win the 2016 championship without him.

Man, Scottie has been out of his mind lately.
