James Harden broke out of his slump Monday night with a 37-point effort vs. the Thunder, perhaps laying waste to the curse of rapper Lil B. However, Lil B may have just been distracted. It seems like the Based God has turned his attention to Russell Westbrook, teammate of Kevin Durant, Lil B’s original NBA victim.

With Lil B focused on Harden, the bearded guard was atrocious. Through Houston’s first three games, all losses, Harden shot 22 percent from the field, and a pitiful nine percent from beyond the arc. Against the Thunder, Harden was still inefficient – he shot 4-of-12 from 3-point land – but overall shot 46 percent in addition to hitting nine free throws.

Lil B Says James Harden Will Pay For Stealing Cooking Celebration

It’s unclear if Westbrook has been cursed, or if Lil B is simply voicing displeasure with Westbrook’s disrespect. Westbrook scored 25 points vs. the Rockets on 10-of-16 shooting, including 3-of-6 from beyond the arc. He also notched 11 assists and eight rebounds.

Lil B was much clearer when he cursed Durant and Harden. Lil B went as far as making a diss track against Durant entitled “F**k Kevin Durant,” and KD suffered a broken foot just before the start of last season that limited him to just 27 games.

Lil B cursed Harden for allegedly stealing a cooking motion that Harden uses to celebrate made shots. Through three games Lil B looked like he was having an impact, but Harden’s will could simply be too strong for the Based God.
