The Olympic Games are for the best athletes in the world. The basketball tournament features elite pro athletes such as Kevin Durant, Damien Lillard, Sue Bird and Aja Wilson. But they may have to get out of the way for the robot to hit 3-pointers and free throws.

At half-time after the United States men's basketball loss to France, a giant robot wearing the number 95 jersey took the ball into the hands of its giant robot and began firing top Stephen Curry-like shots.

The robot's free-throw routine appears quicker than that of the newly crowned Giannis Antetokounmpo. There's no word on whether the robot will be eligible for the Supermax deal immediately.
