How did I find this video? Don’t ask. Does the sport of basketball have anything to be worried about? NO! Are bots picking up a ping pong ball and putting them into a mini basketball goal entertaining? YES!

This is some Tech Fest – looks like the this video was shot in a backyard. I think those are cinder blocks on the court? Why is the guy yelling back back back back back back with so much passion – does he have money on this match?
