Héctor Blondet

Hector "El Mago" Blondet-Texidor was a Puerto Rican professional basketball player who in the 1970s played with the "Cardenales de Rio Piedras" and the "Capitanes de Arecibo" teams in the National Basketball League in Puerto Rico. He played three years at Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky, and was drafted in 1971 as a fifth round pick by the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers. Blondet was also selected in that year as a tenth-round pick by the ABA's Virginia Squires, but he never played for either team despite signing a contract for Portland.
