There was a stretch this season where 7’2” center Joel Embiid led the entire NBA in three-point percentage. Granted, he made 6 of only 9 treys (66.7%) at the time, but that’s Joel’s skill: shooting efficiency, on and off the court. The 22-year-old is not afraid to publicly express his fetishes to particularly attractive women.
Case in point: his comment on model Bianca Ghez’s Instagram live stream earlier this year.

Embiid has never actually heard of the term ‘Direct Message.’
Also, lets not forget him chirping at Mia Khalifa.
^Head shot.
Embiid has had a long-time infatuation with Rihanna, evident in this string of tweets he shot out in 2014, before he was legally allowed to sip alcohol. They went unanswered.

Embiid took the words of the great Jimmy Valvano to heart, “Don’t give up, don’t ever give up.” Almost three years after his date request went unanswered, the big man is still confessing his love for the singer to the paparazzi.
“Hey, Rihanna, I love you,” he said. “I love you, Rihanna. Call on me, man. Hit me up. I love you.”
Give the dude a shot, Ri-Ri.
