Lil B Curses Lakers Player D’Angelo Russell on TV

Those focusing on LeBron James and Stephen Curry as the key players in the NBA Finals are missing the undeniable, mystic-like influence that Lil B has had on the entire playoffs. For various reasons, the Based God has beef with James Harden and Kevin Durant and where are their respective teams? Bounced from championship contention. As a Bay Area native, Lil B rightfully supports the Golden State Warriors, but in visiting ESPN's SportsNation on Thursday (June 9), he offered an expanded view on the NBA.

Speaking with Michelle Beadle, Max Kellerman and Marcellus Wiley Lil B announced that Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell, who violated the bro code this season by filming teammate Nick Young in secret, was in fact cursed. "This is a SportsNation first, he said. "He is officially cursed. I’m so sorry."

Later on, he defends the Los Angeles Clippers saying, "It hurts me that people are trashing the Clippers when they’re a great organization and I can see next year things will be shaping up." He additionally talks about how the Knicks are "blessed," though it will take more than that to increase Knicks fans expectations. Watch his ESPN visit up top, and pray for D'Angelo Russell, who, by all accounts, will be a centerpiece of the Lakers next generation of players.

The Warriors meanwhile will take face off against the Cleveland Cavaliers Friday night (June 10) in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. The Warriors currently lead the series 2-1.
