Joel Embiid's Twitter game has been on fire ever since he got drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers. He's moved on from recruiting NBA players and is now trying to flirt with some of the world's top celebrities.

It all began with Kim Kardashian ... until he realized she was married:

For a time being, this was his Twitter avatar:

If Embiid is this entertaining during the offseason, I can't wait to see what the man has in store when the 2014-15 NBA season officially begins.
