Lil B tells Harden to stop doing cooking dance, reminds Rockets of curse

Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports

With the way James Harden has been playing this season, it's easy to forget he might be cursed.

Rapper Lil B said he put a hex on the Houston Rockets superstar back in 2015 for doing the "cooking dance" celebration without acknowledging The BasedGod as the creator.

On Sunday, Harden torched the Oklahoma City Thunder to the tune of 37 points, nine assists, seven rebounds, and three steals in a commanding 118-87 victory in Game 1. Feeling good, the MVP contender engaged in some celebratory pot-stirring.

Lil B was none too pleased.

The No. 3 Rockets are favored to win the series, and took care of business in the opener. Should things go downhill, though, The Beard might want to consider other ways to express his joy.
