Does Rihanna likes Shirley Temples? 

We may find out soon. 

What Rihanna does like, is All-Stars. And Joel Embiid is well on his way to becoming one. 

The first NBA All-Star voting returns have come in and Joel Embiid is fourth amoung Eastern Conference frontcourt players, behind LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Love. 

Embiid has been making a serious push for an All-Star bid on and off the court in his first season. 

Already with two Rookie of the Month honors, Embiid is averaging 19.2 points and 7.3 rebounds in just 25 minutes per game. The next closest rookie in points is teammate Dario Saric with 9.4.

Off the court (and on Twitter), Embiid has not kept secret his interest in Rihanna. And now he has his chance to date his "crush."

The Feb. 19 game will be held in New Orleans. Voting ends on Jan. 16, while starters will be named Jan. 19 and reserves Jan. 26.
