WATCH: Basketball Robot Effortlessly Drains Half-Court Shot at 2020 Tokyo Olympics

It's no shock that Japan is one of the leading nations in technology, but no one expected a basketball-star robot to walk out on the court in the midst of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. According to U.S. News, Japan holds the No. 1 ranking (or should we say, takes the gold medal) for technology expertise. So, with hosting such an important event like the Olympics, the nation had to have some sort of technological spectacle in store. Still, that doesn't take away from the impressive performance that the (admittedly terrifying-looking) robot gave during the men's basketball game between Teams U.S.A. and France.
