Barack Obama sent a special message to Dwyane Wade and Dirk Nowitzki, while the Chinese created a robot who can put all the NBA players’ jobs in jeopardy.

Robot better than Curry?
The Chinese are well-known for their out of this world technology and the latest invention of a robot is mind-blowing. This particular robot is programmed to hit long-range triples and players such as Steph Curry must be worried about its skills.
