Last week we reported that Philadephia 76ers rookie Joel Embiid set his sights on Rihanna after hilariously trying to kick game to Mrs. Kim Kardashian West.  Well, there might be a chance for him after all!  Joel tweeted a pic of his first date with the superstar. Hit the jump for details.

Shortly after we reported Joel Embiid’s attempt at securing a date with the international superstar, she followed him on twitter and even favorited Embiid’s tweet of their first date. Embiid even created a name for them JOANNA which is a play on the letters in both of their names.

I wonder how this is going to play out! I tip my hat to Joel Embiid…he’s brave!!
