      It's happening.

      In what most certainly is a sign of the coming apocalypse, a robot hit a series of shots -- including a half-court shot -- during halftime of Sunday's Tokyo Olympics men's basketball game between France and the United States. It was as impressive as it was terrifying.

      Laugh all you want, but this robot probably will beat Stephen Curry in a 3-point shooting competition within the next couple of years. After that? A two-way contract.

      By 2035? A human-less NBA full of mechanical, fully autonomous ballers. Just accept it.
