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 São Paulo State Championship, plus the Brazilian Basketball Cup (Brazilian Championship), in 1981. But for almost thirty years, São José did not win titles.

In 2009, the team won its third São Paulo State Championship, after a finals series against C.A. 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 C.R. Flamengo in the quarterfinal series, by 3–0.

In the same year, Limeira eliminated São José in the São Paulo State Championship, again in the quarterfinals 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 E.C. 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 quarterfinals and semifinals series, respectively. But in the finals game, São José was defeated by Brasília.
