History
In the 2005-06 season, E.C. Pinheiros participated for the first time in the professional first division of Brazilian basketball, but then failed to qualify for the single league that resulted from the merging of the conferences. In the 2008-09 season, Pinheiros joined the new top Brazilian league, called the NBB, under the sponsored name, Pinheiros/Sky.[1] The club finished 2nd in the South American League in 2011, and also finished 2nd in the InterLeagues Tournament in 2011 and 2012.
In 2013, the team won its first international tournament, the most important tournament of the Americas, the FIBA Americas League, and thus qualified to play at the 2013 edition of the World Cup for Champion Clubs.
