Lil B cursed James Harden before Game 3 of the Western Conference finals, and the Houston Rockets superstar shot 3-for-16 and lost by 35 points. Coincidence? The rapper says no, not at all, via the Bay Area Group's Marcus Thompson:
“I’ve seen a lot of people stealing from what I do,” Lil B, born Brandon McCartney, said in a phone interview Monday, hours before Game 4. “Some people show love and say thank you and tell me how I was an inspiration for them. So Harden’s just getting the rough end.”
…
“People just show how real they are,” he said. “They’ve got to be real in the heart. When you hatin, that just shows where your heart is. This (curse) only happens when you hate on Lil B or for stealing from Lil B or showing disrespect.”
But is the curse real?
“We wouldn’t be talking if it wasn’t,” Lil B said. “It can’t be fake. You see what happened to KD. He was doing great before messing with me.”
If you're somehow unaware, The Based God cursed Kevin Durant four years ago, after Durant said he didn't like his music, agreed to play him one-on-one and never followed through. Lil B initially said Durant would never win a title, and then in March of 2014 he released a (very NSFW) diss track/music video.
Durant has yet to win a title, and he only played 27 games this season because of injury. I'm not saying that's because of Lil B, but I'm also not saying it's not because of Lil B. If I were Durant, I would probably agree to the game of one-on-one now.
Time will tell whether Harden can overcome the curse. The Rockets guard has yet to acknowledge Lil B publicly, let alone credit him for his cooking dance. Harden and his team are facing elimination on Monday against the Golden State Warriors.
