History

In the 1970s and 1980s São José was one of the greatest basketball teams in Brazil. In 1980 and 1981 the team won the state championship, plus the Campeonato Brasileiro de Basquete, in 1981. But for almost thirty years, São José did not win titles highlighted. In 2009, the team won its third state championship, after a final series against Paulistano. After all, the point guard Fúlvio de Assis was chosen the best player. In the following year, São José team was defeated in NBB by Flamengo in the quarterfinal series, by 3–0.

In the same year, Limeira eliminated São José in the state championship, again in the quarterfinal series. In 2011, São José racked up another two defeats, this time in the quarterfinal series of NBB, after a series against Franca, and in the final series of the state championship, won by Pinheiros. In the 2011–12 NBB season, São José did its best campaign in years, reaching the final of the championship. In previous series, eliminated the executioners Franca and Flamengo, in the quarterfinal and semifinal series, respectively. But in the final game, São José was defeated by Brasília.
