Joel Embiid is a character and he needs far fewer than 140 characters to show it.
The No. 3 overall selection in the 2014 NBA Draft, Embiid won't be on the court for the Philadelphia 76ers any time soon after undergoing foot surgery in June, but that is not stopping him from making a name for himself.
The former Kansas star has emerged as an unlikely star on Twitter by sharing his musings and quips on all sorts of topics.
From his unsuccessful attempts to recruit LeBron James to his belated courtship of Kim Kardashian, let's take a look back at some of Embiid's most memorable tweets.
@KingJames hey bro hope you're having a good day...... Want to join us in philly?? Peace
