Carlos Quintanar
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Carlos Quintanar (2 June 1939 – 14 October 2010) was a Mexican basketball player from Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua who competed in the 1960 Summer Olympics, in the 1964 Summer Olympics, and in the 1968 Summer Olympics.[1]
Quintanar is the second Mexican to be drafted by a National Basketball Association team (after his Olympic teammate Manuel Raga); he was drafted in 1971 by the San Diego Rockets in the 18th round (234th overall pick) of that year's NBA draft (his surname was misspelled Quintar).[2][3] However, he never played professionally to maintain his amateur status.
