Corinthians, one of the most famous teams from Brazil, will seek to be an entertainer at the NBB season this year, and has added first-rate reinforcements for the Brazilian context. One of them is our former alum Gegê Chaia.

The Rio de Janeiro point guard and five-time NBB champion – who has won those titles with Flamengo and Baurú – joins the Sao Paulo team for their next season that will begin in November.

Gegê played last season with Pato Basquete, with whom he featured and was the league leader in steals with 2.2 Stl per game in addition to averaging 7.0 points and 7.1 assists in the NBB. Chaia was the tournament leader in assists in the 2017-2018 season, as well in the 2018-2019 edition.

Corinthians has also announced Ricardo Fischer, the former ACB point guard with Bilbao Basket, as well as fellow Brazilian Lucas Siewert who has just graduated from the University of Colorado in the NCAA.

All the best for our dear Gegê in this new adventure!

Parabéns Feiticeiro!
