Unbeknownst to most historians, Einstein started down the road of professional basketball before an ankle injury diverted him into science.

    I was curious, and Im just that kind of pedant, so I checked: The timing for this doesnt seem to work. Einstein published General Relativity in 1915. As far as I can tell, the first pro basketball league didnt happen until 1935.

      I bow before your superior pedantry. I was just thinking that Einstein looks old enough here that he would have already retired from basketball, regardless of injury.

      Ha ha, Gary Larson sure has egg on his face for this screw up!
