With the Tokyo Olympics well underway, basketball fans have been tuning in religiously to see which countries are looking good throughout the round-robin tournament. As many of you already know, the United States lost its very first game today <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/team-usa-upset-by-france-at-the-olympics-nba-twitter-reacts-news.136315.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">as the men&#8217;s team fell 83-76 to France in a shocking turn of events</a>. Team USA ran out of gas in the fourth quarter and it was a pretty sad sight to see, especially since Team USA hasn&#8217;t lost an Olympic match since 2004.
Players like <a href="/profile/kevin-durant" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Kevin Durant</a> struggled and it&#8217;s quite obvious to everyone watching that this Team USA squad simply doesn&#8217;t have the chemistry necessary to go far in the tournament. Unless things turn around quickly, there is a good shot this team is eliminated early on.

As for the halftime entertainment, fans were greeted by a seven-foot robot that is programmed to take shots from the free-throw line, the three-point line, and even the halfcourt line. <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/robot-basketball-player-freaks-out-fans-with-steph-curry-range-news.77038.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">This robot originally made its debut back in 2019</a> and it has returned in time for the Tokyo Olympics. In the video clips below, you can see the robot makes each shot with ease and it always results in a swoosh. Needless to say, the programmers outdid themselves with this one.

This robot has a very uncanny feel to it and you can&#8217;t help but be just a bit terrified at how accurately it shoots the ball. As many fans pointed out, this thing needs to be destroyed, and we can&#8217;t help but agree with that sentiment.
You can see the reactions to the robot down below.
