Scottie Pippen Says LeBron James Won 2016 NBA Finals Without Any Help
The 2016 NBA Championship run from the Cleveland Cavaliers was one of the best playoffs runs in history, mostly due to what LeBron James and the Cavaliers ended up doing in the Finals. The Cavaliers, led by LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, came back from 3-1 down against the 73-9 Golden State Warriors, the best team ever record-wise in the regular season.
NBA legend Scottie Pippen has suggested that LeBron James won the 2016 NBA Championship without any help. It seems as though Pippen overlooked the contributions of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, both of whom were great contributors around LeBron James. The post was targeted at analyst Stephen A. Smith.
Stephen A. Smith responded to Pippen's Tweet, and pointed out the importance of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love in the 2016 NBA Championship, while also pointing to the other stars that helped LeBron James win, such as Dwyane Wade and Anthony Davis.
While Pippen's claim goes against common knowledge, it seems as though it was the product of a misunderstanding, as Scottie Pippen claimed that he simply got the year mixed up, and thought it was 2015.
There is no question that this was a hilarious exchange. While LeBron James was the Cleveland Cavaliers' leader in 2016, he still had All-Star caliber help from Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. They were huge contributors to the Cavaliers coming back up from 3-1 down, and it is clear that without them the comeback wouldn't have happened.
