    He was just in the new issue of SI that just came out. It's almost a full page article and talks about how he went from Venezuela to the IBA to the Rockets. It also says he was the first native Venezuelan in the NBA, I can't really recall but wasn't Carl Herrera from Venezuela too??

    I think he's from Trinidad, not actually from Venezuela.

    Carl lived in Venezuela nearly his whole life but was born in Trinidad. So technically, Torres (I hate the OT name) is the first native born Venezualan.
