"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bay Area rapper Lil B, whose Based God curse has been a theme of the NBA playoffs, took some time to visit ESPN's &lt;em&gt;SportsNation&lt;/em&gt; show on Monday and clear up a few things.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First off, if you're wondering where exactly the line is between Lil B and The Based God, not even Lil B knows. He said he's the only one who knows The Based God, but asked whether it was he or The Based God on the show he said, \u201CI don't know.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lil B was then asked about multiple NBA players who have been rumored to be cursed by him.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kevin Durant was given the curse back in 2011 for allegedly saying Lil B is a \u201Cwhack\u201D rapper, but it turns out there's more to the story.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CKD's curse is active, he's still cursed,\u201D Lil B said on &lt;em&gt;SportsNation&lt;/em&gt;. \u201CKevin Durant actually agreed to play me in a game of \u201821\u2019 and during the season he went back on his word and that's when The Based God was like you know what? Curse him.\u201D\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;Artist creates 'salt art' portraits of LeBron James, Stephen Curry&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lil B admitted that he and The Based God \u201Cnever like to curse people, that's always the last resort,\u201D but alas Rockets guard James Harden was given the hex&amp;nbsp;after Lil B said Harden stole his \"cooking dance\" celebration from his \u201CI Cook\u201D music video.\u200B\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However in a surprising twist on Saturday, Lil B tweeted that the curse on Harden had been lifted, because \u201C[Harden] may be more troubled inside.\u201D\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CI feel really bad for Harden, it's like with all this success and the positivity that should come with being a Houston Rocket ... it's just like, I couldn't. We had to let him go, he was going through a lot of stuff,\u201D Lil B said Monday.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, there's Cavaliers guard LeBron James, who Lil B set his sights on after Game 1 of the Finals. However Lil B confirmed that there's \u201Cdefinitely no curse on LeBron. We'll never try to interfere with everything that's natural.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;LeBron James\u2019 barber talks hairline, dye rumors&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before leaving, Lil B offered a piece of advice (or perhaps a warning) to those players who may want to think twice about stealing his celebrations in the future.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CMy whole thing was just making sure that these players who do these sports celebrations know who created them,\u201D he said. \u201DAnd there's a lot of people that might try to steal it or make their own version but they have to remember [who did it first].\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- &lt;em&gt;Molly Geary&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
