Staying single since splitting up from then boyfriend Chris Brown, Rihanna is rumored to have a crush on basketball player Rashard Lewis of Orlando Magic. New York Daily News has reported that the Barbadian songbird attended Game 4 of the NBA Finals in Orlando on Thursday night, June 11 at the behest of Rashard.

"Rihanna is trying to get to know Rashard. She's digging on him, and she hopes the feeling is mutual," a friend of her testified. "It's Rashard who she wants. She thinks he's hotter than hot," revealed the friend, who then added that Rihanna and rumored flame Los Angeles Lakers' center Andrew Bynum are just friends.

Attending the star-studded game with her entourage, Rihanna was spotted sitting on the opposite side of ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. Though so, it was said that he tried to reach out to her by shaking hands with all of her friends. "Chris was definitely trying to make the situation less awkward," said an onlooker. "He was trying to be very grownup, and wanted Rihanna to see that as well."

Becoming estranged from Chris after he assaulted her in February, Rihanna was rumored dating Drake and Andrew Bynum. None of the dating rumors has been proven true though.
