Philadelphia 76ers rookie Joel Embiid has yet again sent a very hopeful message in the direction of Rihanna.
Bleacher Report has shared a Tweet that Embiid sent today for Rihanna's birthday.
The one thing that can be said about the injured rookie is that he could be the most resilient pursuer of celebrity love in the public today.
Despite his failures in getting the lovely Rihanna to respond to him back this past summer hasn't stopped him from pursuing the singer.
He even Tweeted this picture out last July during the red-hot pursuit:
The Rihanna chase came after is big-time efforts in trying to get Kim Kardashian to notice him failed miserably. He took those rejections pretty hard and even considered blocking Kim.
Embiid has certainly enjoyed the public spotlight since being drafted with the third overall pick last summer. Even though he's been sitting out with a season-long injury, and pursuing mega stars on Twitter, he claims to be focusing on basketball first.
Regardless of whether his basketball work is running smoothly, the kid has certainly entertained millions of Americans.
He's either self-unaware comic genius or a very sad case of shooting way too quickly for the stars in his pursuit of both Karadashian and Rihanna. For now, Rihanna is still on the clock in Embiid's mind.
