I wasn't sure the one player to a hand rule applied to this situation so, as always, I checked Robert's Rules for guidance.

"The following actions are improper, and grounds for warning, suspending, or barring a violator:

...

Reading a hand for another player at the showdown before it has been placed faceup on the table.

Telling anyone to turn a hand faceup at the showdown."

So what you did was, in fact, improper. It goes a little against my grain, because I like the best hand to win. It's a good reason to always table your hands faceup at showdown though.
