Houston Rockets: The 15 greatest centers of all-time

Kevin Kunnert was selected with the 12th overall pick by the Chicago Bulls in 1973. However, the Bulls traded Kunnert to the then Buffalo Braves before the season started. Kunnert spent about half a season in Buffalo before he was traded again to the Rockets.

Kunnert had his best years in Houston and he averaged a career high 12.9 points and 9.8 rebounds in the 1975-76 season.

In 1978, Kunnert signed as a free agent with the Boston Celtics. However, the Celtics traded Kunnert to the Portland Trail Blazers less than two months later. Kunnert finished his career in Portland and retired in the 1981-82 season at 30 years old.

Kunnert averaged 10.4 points and 8.5 rebounds over his five-year career with the Rockets. He was also almost always available, appearing in at least 75 games in his four full seasons in Houston.

When people look back on Kunnert’s NBA career, the highlight has to be his time with the Rockets. Though nowhere as good as some of the guys we’ll touch on this all-time list, Rockets fans should look back fondly on Kunnert’s four years in Houston uniform.
