Our Blasts From the Past series continues with another favorite from the title years you don't hear much about: Carl Herrera.
Carl Herrera, the NBA's first-ever Venezuelan player, started his NBA career with the Houston Rockets, playing his initial season under faltering and soon-to-be fired head coach Don Cheney. But the University of Houston product came of age during the Clutch City years, and his contributions to the Rockets, especially during the first title run, were as important as just about any ancillary player in Houston.
He was never a guy to put up huge numbers.
