Confused as to who Bay Area rapper Lil B “the based God” is, and what he has to do with this year’s NBA playoffs? Never fear, I’ve got the answers you seek.

Lil B is been a rapper,  motivational speaker, and a potential D-League basketball player – all these descriptions are self proclaimed, but he did speak at NYU in 2012. So, why do we care who he is?

A few years back, Lil B claimed to put the base God curse on Kevin Durant because KD said he didn’t “get” the rappers music. The one-sided beef also caused the rapper to make a diss track entitled, F**k Kevin Durant.

Now, KD did run into a string of bad luck following Lil B’s “curse,” but surely that’s just coincidence. His latest target is KD’s old teammate, Rockets All-Star James Harden. Lil B claims Harden stole his “cooking dance” this season.

But he’s not putting a curse on Harden. BaseGod just wants The Beard to give him his props, and let the people know the originator of cookin.

So far it doesn’t seem to be working out for the Hawks. They’re currently down 0-2, and just got word that Kyle Korver is done for the season, after suffering an ankle injury.

So now you’re all caught up with the saga of Lil B.
