Are you a Pinheiros fan?

Yes.

Did you play there?

And yes.

I played there in the youth teams for like 6 years. Won two city championships and two state championships with them. I am a member of the club as well.

I played PG and SG there and althought I wasn't a top player or a starter, I like to think I was a good role player that helped the team to succeed.

Now I am a member of the club like any other regular member. I don't have a job there or do anything other than enjoy their facilities and practice some amateur sport there as a hobby.

Interesting But tell me, why that flag?

I never really changed the profile since registering here. Just don't like the idea of people labeling you due to your nationality.

Don't be surprised; many South American clubs that were very big during 70's 80's and 90's have disappeared, or simply went down because of financial issues.
