Lil B commends Durant for joining Warriors, pushes for 1-on-1 game
Lil B is thrilled that Kevin Durant chose to sign with his hometown team, but he hasn't forgotten about that 1-on-1 game.
In an open letter to The Undefeated, the Bay Area rapper explained that he finally lifted "The BasedGod" curse because Durant showed "humility" by choosing to sign with the Golden State Warriors.
Kevin Durant's decision said a lot of things. I definitely commend him for being brave, for trying something new. Making new things happen. Making things happen that people wouldn't normally think is conventional. He did something that was very brave, I think, and showed he does feel something. A lot of questions were answered.
The curse had to be removed for the simple fact that Kevin Durant has shown his humility by coming to the Warriors. Me being Lil B, I really feel like The BasedGod did it because The BasedGod is humble and very empathetic. Just from what I've seen, Kevin Durant has shown that he wants change.
I was always just protecting The BasedGod. The BasedGod said the curse is over, so the curse is officially over. As for a sorry, I don't need one. I think Kevin Durant has shown where his heart is. And his heart is in the Bay Area.
Lil B also pushed for a 1-on-1 game between him and Durant, comparing his skill set to that of Russell Westbrook.
Our 1-on-1 game still has to happen. I think it's for the love of the sport. The world wants to see it - hundreds of thousands, millions of people. They want to know what would happen with this game. They're obviously interested.
At this point, I like where I'm at right now with my game and how much better I've gotten. I'm a real defensive guy. My defense really speaks loudly, which rolls over on offense. I have a pretty decent mid-range shot. I like getting to the rack. I like getting to the hoop. I'm kind of like Russell Westbrook, but I can't dunk. Just as far as going to the hole. I'm not saying all aspects of Russell Westbrook's game because I don't have the same aspects. I'm coming to the court with a lot of confidence now. It's definitely different. I definitely do think I'm ready to play KD. Winning, who knows? But I definitely know I am ready to play him.
