Joel Embiid has not yet played an NBA game, but he has made his name known in the Twittersphere beyond sports fans. The third pick in the NBA draft, the Philadelphia 76ers center tweeted at LeBron James trying to court the star to The City of Brotherly Love.
@KingJames hey bro hope you're having a good day...... Want to join us in philly?? Peace

When that did not work, he moved on to wooing Kim Kardashian and Rihanna. All he managed to get was a a follow from Rihanna on Twitter, and possibly some respect for his PhotoShop skills.
Hey I want you to come slide in my DMs @KimKardashian

Apparently, Embiid has moved on from Kardashian and Rihanna. His new sights are set on Andi Dorfman, the recent star of "The Bachelorette." Soon after Dorfman selected former second-round MLB draft pick Josh Murray as her man, Embiid tweeted a suggestive picture of an edited US Weekly cover.

No response yet from Dorfman. Also, no sign if this is just a phase for Embiid or if he will further his pursuit of the Atlanta-based attorney.
