Joel Embiid has never played an NBA game, but the 22-year-old is a social media legend.

From recruiting LeBron James on Twitter to pursuing pop star Rihanna, the Philadelphia 76ers big man has built a large following online.

That will surely only grow with Instagram's latest update, which allows users to post "Stories" that disappear after 24 hours (like Snapchat).

Embiid's review? Simple: It's "a better way to slide in DMs."
