Months after becoming the center of attention thanks to West Coast rapper Lil B‘s “Based God” curse, Houston Rockets star James Harden reportedly has a $200 million offer on the table from sports apparel company adidas.

According to reports, the company, which publicly teamed up with rap star Kanye West last year, has aggressively sought out to make Harden the face of presumably a signature sneaker line.

The company has submitted a bid of $200 million over 13 years to sign Houston Rockets guard James Harden, sources told ESPN.com. Nike, whose deal with Harden recently expired, has until the end of next week to match the deal or lose him. A $200 million offer is huge, considering it represents half of what the brand paid for 11 seasons as the NBA’s official uniform supplier. (ESPN)

Lil B announced his curse’s removal from James Harden on social media back in June.

Harden recently spoke to paparazzi about being cursed by Lil B during the NBA playoffs.

“I don’t even know what happened,” Harden said when asked about Lil B. “I don’t even know, I mean, I don’t know who he is. [My off-season] just happened five days ago, so I’m just chilling. I’m happy to be back home. Yup.” (TMZ Sports)

Recently, New York rapper A$AP Rocky talked about Lil B’s publicized “curse” on the Houston Rockets star.

“Yo, did you see him at the game? He went to the game the night [the Houston Rockets] lost and he started cooking! Do y’all got [the video?] I’m dead serious. [James] Harden and them lost. Pulled up to the game with a turquoise bucket and just started cooking. Based God. Based God.” (“Whoolywood Shuffle”)
