The Los Angeles Lakers have hired a rocket scientist, according to ESPN.
There is no evidence he actually will be building rockets, although apparently his aerospace skills do translate to basketball.
The scientist, Rohan Ramadas, has been hired to serve as an assistant general manager under Lakers president and general manager Rob Pelinka.
