NBA blogger Lang Whitaker caught up with Joel Embiid at the NBA’s recent rookie shinamabob in New York and asked him about his “relationship” with Rihanna. Embiid spoke openly:

“It’s going pretty well. We had a date.* And it was pretty good. We had fun. We just went to get some food, some laughs, because I’m kind of funny. You know, girls love when I speak French, so every time I talk they’re just like [grabs face]. Good morning is like bonjour [more French words I don’t understand].”

Love this guy. LOVE HIM. Video here.

*He’s kidding. Probably.
