The Houston Rockets surprised everyone Wednesday when they fired head coach Kevin McHale after the team’s 4-7 start.
Everyone except rap mogul Lil B, that is.
Lil B placed the Based God curse back on James Harden less than one month ago for stealing his signature cooking gesture and not acknowledging that the rapper was the first to do it. And now he’s taking credit for the Rockets firing McHale.
McHale supported the team in hosting Harden’s bobblehead night roughly two weeks ago, and Lil B cites that it was the reason he was fired.
“The BasedGod curse” is real the rockets coach was punished for signing off on the j harden bobble heads doing Lil B cooking dance – Lil B

Lil B may be on to something. The Rockets defeated the Trail Blazers 108-103 in overtime in their first game since firing McHale. And if we’ve learned anything from watching Harden play since the 2014-15 playoffs began, it’s that the curse is real and is not to be taken lightly.
