We have all been told for years that robots are coming to take our jobs sooner rather than later, but the joke is on them because here we are still working and thriving despite our robot overlords and artificial intelligence seeping into everyday life.
The same cannot be said for Golden State Warriors assistants, who are at severe risk of being automated due to new robots the team has employed who know a thing or two about filling up a stat sheet.
In a new video shared by the NBA, the Warriors were seen benefiting from playing in the tech capital of the country, as Stephen Curry introduced the fans to “Abe,” a robot who was seen rebounding and passing the ball to Curry as he moved around the court, hitting him right in his shooting pocket every time.

The robot was designed after working with coaches and players directly to provide exactly what they needed and are able to track micro-movements and provide real-time feedback faster than any coach or trainer can.
Steph said the robot is nice because it never needs to take breaks or drink water, while acknowledging that it was strange at first to have robots involved in practice, but has now become a part of the day-to-day.
We have come a long way from the oblong, plastic attachments we used to hang on our backyard hoops to roll the ball back to us after a made shot.
