NBA rookie can't stop asking celebrities out on Twitter
Philadelphia 76ers rookie Joel Embiid is yet to even play a minute of NBA basketball, but that hasn’t stopped him mixing it with the world of celebrities. At least on Twitter that is.
The Sixers number three pick in this year's draft is quickly endearing himself to fans with his comedic internet activity.
Last week Embiid, 20, tweeted Kim Kardashian with some romantic overtures, before realising that she was in fact married to Kanye West and then quickly apologised. Now the big man has turned his attention to singer Rihanna, with an hilarious string of tweets.

With no response from either celebrity, Embiid's patience with the ladies seems to be running out.

The Sixers centre is set to miss the majority of the upcoming NBA season with a foot injury, giving him plenty of spare time and he is using it for great comedic value.
