Lil B relishes warning of James Harden over alleged cooking dance theft
James Harden has flashed what the NBA has called the Houston Rockets guard's signature "stir the pot" motion for months. But now the alleged proprietor of that move -- California-born rapper Lil B, aka "The BasedGod" -- has demanded credit.
"If Harden doesn't tell what he is doing, which is the Lil B cooking dance, he will be cursed," Lil B told TMZ Sports. "He needs to stop stealing Lil B swag without showing love."

Harden lit up the box score with 38 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals but turned the ball over in the waning seconds of the Warriors' 99-98 Game 2 victory before he was able to get off a potential game-winning shot.
As many have pointed out, Lil B previously "cursed" Harden's former teammate Kevin Durant after KD dissed the rapper back in 2011:
Logic and good sense would indicate that a trap by Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson caused Harden's turnover, but logic and good sense do not rule the Internet.
KEVIN DURANT WILL NEVER WIN THE TITLE AFTER HE SAID "LIL B" IS A WACK RAPPER, "THE BASEDGODS CURSE" #THEBASEDGODSCURSE ON DURANT - Lil B

Plus, memes hailing Lil B's supernatural basketball powers are much more fun. Behold:
