The above picture is Joel Embiid’s Twitter profile image because he is awesome.
It seems that Joel Embiid’s pursuit of Rihanna will not end in our reality. Joel is prepared to take his wooing of RiRi from Twitter to the virtual hardwood. Move over LeBron, it’s Rihanna’s turn to get the Embiid-recruiting treatment.
The Sixers rookie, and Twitter phenom, recently came across a trailer for NBA 2K15 and he was understandably stoked.

He then made sure that, even if the 76ers aren’t championship-contenders in the real world, they’ll be an elite team in 2K:
First thing when I get 2k, I put the whole SIXERS squad on 99

But how?
By adding Rihanna to the roster of course. With the two of them averaging double-doubles, there’s no way that Rihanna and Joel don’t win co-MVPs and the hearts of humanity. The only question remaining is whether Joel will make Rihanna a point guard so she can get the ten dimes to make the double-double or if the two of them are going to be front court mates (this is the most I’ve ever cared about someone’s custom 2K roster).
Also creating Rihanna on the game so we can average double doubles and be MVPs

The two of them will then presumably ride off into the (virtual) sunset.
Never change Joel Embiid. Never change.
