Kevin Durant is very clearly one of the very best players in the NBA, yet the Oklahoma City Thunder star has never won a championship.
There’s an easy explanation for why that is: The Based God curse, which was placed on him by rapper Lil B. The rapper placed the curse on Durant in 2011 after KD dissed him on Twitter.
Recently, Lil B spoke to the Warriors World podcast and confirmed that the curse remains in effect.
As transcribed by mstarz.com:
"“Nah man, the curse is still real, KD has been avoiding me,” the rapper laughed.“KD, it’s all around the locker room, his teammates talkin’ about it, his teammates tease him about it, he even talked to me about it a while back.”"
Unfortunately for Durant, not only is Lil B keeping the curse alive, the rapper is also planning on coming to see the basketball star in person.
Lil B told the podcast that he will sit courtside and heckle Durant if the Thunder play the Golden State Warriors in the playoffs.
"He added, “I know his people want him to focus on the season, I know he has stuff that he has to do, and potential championships to win and contend with… but he’s got to deal with these Warriors right now, and he can’t beat the Warriors.”“Ay man, if we goin’ first I’m there,” he laughed. “I’m there. That’s what I’m saying; have me there when you want me. I’m that kryptonite; he can’t deny that game. He can’t deny it.”"
There’s a good chance that first round matchup actually happens. At 36-7, the Warriors have the best record in the Western Conference by four games and seem poised to enter the postseason as the No. 1 seed.
The Thunder currently find themselves with the 10th best record in the conference, but have been climbing the standings ever since Durant and Russell Westbrook returned from injury and the team has a great shot at landing the No. 8 seed.
So, yes, if Lil B is true to his word, we could see a rapper trying to curse a basketball player live during a playoff game. That surely would be a sight to see.
