Do Weight Machines Build Functional Strength?

To give more details into my question, what I mean is which weight machines build real life functional strength, functional strength for sports and functional strength for free weights/calisthenics? I always hear that weight machines are only good for isolating a specific muscle group to grow, bodybuilding, rehab, beginners, etc. What I want to know is does weight machines provide any real benefits but everything I mentioned above?

Yes.

@TAYLORBLADE This (functional) query seems to be your standard request. Remember sleds. Have you started using them yet, how did it go, whats the routine ??
Are you real ??
A genuine request would be "so that I can improve the xxxx gap I have in football/tennis/basketball ā€¦ ". This is my current programmeā€¦
