Alberto Herreros Ros (born 20 April 1969) is a retired Spanish professional basketball player. At a height of 2.00 m (6'6 34") tall, he played at the small forward position. He is considered to be one of the best Spanish basketball players and shooters of all-time, as he is the Spanish ACB League's all-time leader in both three-pointers made and total points scored. He played with Estudiantes and Real Madrid. Herreros works as a basketball executive for Real Madrid.
