The basketball robot is back and it can do more than just shoot.

Well, not really.

On Monday, the FIBA basketball robot re-appeared in Japan after its debut earlier this year at the Tokyo Olympics and this time it tried to show off its dribbling skills after putting a shooting display on during the summer.

But the robot does not quite have NBA-ready handles just yet. In fact, it probably wouldn’t make junior varsity with its handles.

Still, it is an improvement from the summer — when all it could do was shoot, which led to a flurry of tweets roasting Ben Simmons.

This time social media was not as impressed, with many mocking the robot’s dribbling as weak.

Yeah, that last one about sums it up.
