The Golden State Warriors head into the All-Star break one game over .500 (28-27), currently sitting at 10th place in the Western Conference standings.
Jimmy Butler‘s arrival in Golden State and joining forces with superstar Stephen Curry and Draymond Green is part of the Warriors plan to make one more title push before the window closes on their dinasty.
Butler’s immediate chemistry with Curry was evident in their first game together, leaving many in the Western Conference on high alert. If Jimmy seamlessly fits into the Warriors’ system, Golden State could quickly reemerge as a legitimate championship contender.
Curry loves his new robot teammates
The Golden State Warriors are hoping to take advantage of the technology and AI to improve their game and take it to the next level and that’s why they are using robots to help during their practices and to assist players and coaches in any way they can.
The NBA posted a video on their social accounts showcasing the Warriors‘ use of the technology and how Curry and other Golden State players, like Draymond Green, are upping their game with the help of the robots. Curry admitted that it “was weird at first” but eventually the robots have become a part of practice.
Even head coach Steve Kerr has gotten use to it, as he treats the robots like any other player. “Get the f*** out of here! Give me another one! I told you before, you are supposed to be over there!” Kerr yells at the new technology, while some of the robots look confused or scared.
At the 25th Tech Summit, NBA Commisioner Adam Silver was joined on stage by cutting-edge Physical AI robots. These machines have the potential to transform how players and coaches approach the game-both on and off the court.
