Philadelphia 76ers rookie Joel Embiid spent his summer trying to recruit LeBron James, "The Bachelorette" star Andi Dorfman and Rihanna.
The social media enthusiast now has something else to share.

As the third overall pick in June's draft, he's set to earn $3.69 million in his first year.
The 76ers have yet to make any kind of announcement, so unless that's just a random document with NBA letterhead, we imagine there's a press conference in Embiid's not-so-distant future.
Meanwhile, he's not letting the new deal go to his head.
I guess now I have to turn my chill on so I don't get fined

Smooth, Joel.
