VIDEO: Lil B says he loves Kevin Durant but admits injury is due to Based God's Curse

Well, it's confirmed: Lil B caused the Jones fracture in Kevin Durant's foot, the injury that has kept him sidelined all season and threatens to submarine the Oklahoma City Thunder's playoff hopes.

Lecturing at MIT this week (no, seriously), rapper Lil B opened up about The Based God's Curse during a question-and-answer session with attendees.

Here are the relevant quotes, as transcribed by Fader:

[Audience member asks if Lil B loves Kevin Durant] Thank you so much for bringing that out there. I do. I want to say, to answer your question: yes, I do love Kevin Durant, and I appreciate him, and I appreciate the NBA.

["Would you lift the curse if Kevin Durant came to D.C.?"] If Kevin Durant came to D.C., would I lift the curse? Well, does Boston love D.C.? [Awkward applause] OK, so I didn't just say something stupid. Everybody was looking at me like - I was thinking I said something wrong! But no, if he came to D.C. ... I would … uhhh … you know, me and Kevin - me and Kevin got a game to play. Once Kevin is off his injury from the Based God's curse. I pray for the Thunder team, I pray for them.

So, Lil B admits that The Curse was at the root of Durant's injury, but also claims to love him and appreciate him. While it's all a bit strange, it certainly seems like we're working up to Lil B and Durant burying the hatchet.

Might that coincide with some overdue good fortune for the Thunder - possibly a championship? Only The Based God knows for sure.
