Basketball star Kyrie Irving got into one recently — though not on the court, but with a humanoid robot.
The diminutive 4’2″ robot displays better survival instincts than most humans and nervously skitters away from the imposing athlete, who is two feet taller.
Irving shoves it in the chest, and the robot stumbles with human-like agility — or lack thereof — before falling flat on its back.
As it stands, it’s unclear what condition the Mavericks robot is in after Irving made it eat pavement.
