Although Lil B lifted the Based God Curse from Kevin Durant, who recently joined the Golden State Warriors franchise after nine seasons with the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Bay Area rhymer still has one pending issue with the National Basketball Association star-he still wants that one-on-one game.

Throughout the years, Lil B has taken credit for a variety of KD’s mishaps, including injuries and the Thunder losing the Western Conference Finals this year after leading the series 3-1.
But so long as elite NBA players are willing to take pay cuts in order to play with other elite players (which is, in part, a product of rings and Legacy remaining national obsessions), super-teams will forever continue to exist, at least in some capacity.
“They played us better than anybody. They pick on all kinds of stuff”, Krzyzewski said.
Kevin Durant is officially getting a new start with Golden State – and he’ll be free of a Lil B curse. Maybe the team could convince Westbrook to stay if another superstar will play with him soon.
“(The Cavs) got the momentum”, Iguodala said.
The fallout from Durant’s decision has been dramatic. “I just stayed in”, Durant told USA Today.
The Golden State Warriors were an incredible Kyrie Irving three-pointer from capping off a 73 win season with a second consecutive National Basketball Association title. Also, it remains to be seen on which team A-players such as Dwayne Wade and Westbrook would play for, but as for the rumors that Kevin Durant is saving his own skin, those speculations have no baselines and should be disregarded as rumors and nothing more. There’s no bad blood between us. I made a decision based on where I wanted to go. I love the passes, layups, shots, and defensive aspects of the game so it’s a concern that the talent level isn’t spread out on a competitive level because growing up we wanted to beat other players that were good as or better than ourselves.
They said Durant grew frustrated with Westbrook’s playing style. “We accomplished what our goal was when I first got drafted, which was to win a championship”. We’ll see what happens. Just as far as going to the hole. “So I think winning is a lot – for me, I think my career is pretty much full with that championship with the Red Sox”. I focus on the people who keep it positive and hold me accountable, and push me to my limits.
