Career
After playing at NCAA with San Francisco University, Quezada started his career in 2010 in the Dominican Republic, where he played for Tiburones de Puerto Plata in the Liga Nacional de Baloncesto.
In summer 2010, Quezada leaves his country and signs for Spanish second division squad Baloncesto León,[1] where he spends two seasons being one of the top scorers of the league.
In August 2012, he joins the Liga ACB, Spanish top league, with one of the most classic teams in Spain: FIATC Joventut.[2]
In his first game at Liga ACB, he becomes the MVP of the week after scoring 27 points in Joventut's win against Lagun Aro GBC by 89–73.[3]
After the injury of the Brazilian player Fúlvio in November 2013, playing for São José Basketball, at NBB, Manny was hired to replace him in this team.

In the summer of 2017, Quezada competed in The Basketball Tournament on ESPN for the Talladega Knights. Competing for the $2 million grand prize, Quezada scored 16 points, grabbed five rebounds and dished out three assists in the Knights' 78-74 first round loss to Paul's Champion's; a team led by former NBA point guard Earl Boykins. Quezada also played for Talladega during the summer of 2016. In two games, he averaged a team-high 29.5 points, 4.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds as the Knights fell to the City of Gods in the second round. [4]
