During the NBA Playoffs, rapper Lil B made headlines for placing curses upon the league's players. Most notable among the cursed was Houston Rocket's star James Harden.

Harden's celebration dance, a mixing motion meant to indicate that he is "cookin," looks very similar to Lil B's signature move. Before Game 2 of the Rocket's series against the Golden State Warriors, Lil B tweeted his displeasure.

Houston lost that game by only 1 point, with Harden turning the ball over on the game's final possession.

Now, the Braves have decided to pay homage to Lil B's move.

Unlike Harden however, the Braves have given proper respect to The Based God and presumably avoided any possible curse.

Atlanta is a game under .500 for the season, but with Lil B's blessing, anything can happen.
