On Sunday evening, the Oklahoma City Thunder hosted the Indiana Pacers for Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

The Thunder won by a score of 103-91 to win their first title.

Following the game, Chicago Bulls legend (and Basketball Hall of Famer) Scottie Pippen sent out a post that had over 24,000 likes and 2.3 million impressions.

He wrote: "Just watched an NBA Finals Game 7. Never been in one myself, though. Replying to the comments like ‘Y’all be blessed ’ Congrats to the Thunder on the win! "

Pippen and Michael Jordan helped lead the Bulls to six NBA Championships.

They went a perfect 6-0 (and never needed a Game 7).

Many people reacted to Pippen's post.

@Cover3_mx: "You never needed a Game 7, Scottie. Your team handled business early … that’s a different kind of dominance. Respect."

@YZR_Fantasy: "Why is Scottie Pippen making AI images of himself with 6 rings and a computer when he is already Scottie Pippen, has 6 rings, and a computer"

@THERUNDOWN: "Scottie casually flexing 6 rings and zero Game 7s is legendary energy. "

@ThatDakari: "Generating an AI picture of yourself tweeting is so silly"

@s_handler37631: "This dude would have demolished in today’s game"

The Thunder had a historic season where they went 68-14 during the regular season.

They won 84 total games (which Pippen and the Bulls also did).

Via StatMuse: "Teams with 84+ wins to win a Championship:

— MJ Bulls
— MJ Bulls
— SGA Thunder

That's it."
