Lakers head trainer Marco Nunez did try this at home

The Los Angeles Lakers head trainer grew up a huge fan . . . of the Dodgers.

Big dreams aren't limited to the athletes on a basketball court. Sometimes the people on the sidelines, like Lakers head athletic trainer Marco Nuñez, have big aspirations.

"Being an L.A. kid, I thought, Why can't I work for the Lakers?" Nunez recalled. "If I want to work with the best, that should be my ultimate goal."

HIS ROOTS

Nuñez was raised as an L.A. Dodgers fan, living with his family in a residence on the corner of Adams and Vermont, less than a mile away from the Staples Center.
