The rivalry between Flamengo and Brasília is considered to be the biggest in Brazilian basketball today. It started in 2008, when the two teams met in the final of Campeonato Brasileiro de Basquete. Brasília was defending the title, having won the previous season, but Flamengo won the series 3–0 and captured its first national title.
In the first edition of the NBB in 2008, Flamengo finished the regular season in first place while Brasília finished in second place. The two met again in the final. Flamengo, led by forward Marcelinho Machado and center Rafael "Baby" Araújo, defeated Brasília led by guards Alex Garcia and Valtinho for the second time. In the chaotic game 5 of the series, Baby and Márcio Cipriano were ejected in the first two minutes of play.
In the 2009–10 NBB season, Brasília won two more titles: Liga Sudamericana and the NBB. Game 3 of NBB's final series saw more confusion, this time involving the fans of Brasilia who stormed the court and tried to attack Flamengo players. This incident forced the final game of the series to be played in Anápolis, and not in Brasilia. Brasília won by only two points.
On 13 December 2012 as part of the 2012–13 NBB season, both teams met in the 1000th game in the history of NBB.

Brasília's guards Alex Garcia and Nezinho dos Santos the head coach José Carlos Vidal, were ejected from the match.
On 8 February 2013, Flamengo and Brasília met each other for the first game in group B in the FIBA Americas League, in Barquisimeto, Venezuela. Flamengo played poorly and Brasília controlled the game from start to finish, winning 91–79. Between the 3rd and 4th quarters, power went out in the city and the game had to be completed under abnormal conditions.
On 9 November 2013, the two rivals faced each other again in the 2013–14 NBB season opener in HSBC Arena, Rio de Janeiro. The week of the game was marked by high expectations, as this was the first game of Brasilia's new head coach, the Argentine Sergio Hernández, and new players for the Federal District's team: the Uruguayan guard Martín Osimani and the American center Marcus Goree. Flamengo, led by head coach José Neto, played without its two main players: Marquinhos and Marcelo Machado, as well as American center Jerome Meyinsse. But the Argentine guard Nicolás Laprovíttola took responsibility and, beside Olivinha and Vítor Benite, led the defending national champions to victory in their season debut. Laprovíttola recorded 22 points and 5 assists, Olivinha had 19 points and 12 rebounds, while Benite scored 16 points, and Flamengo won 84–82. On 25 January 2014, for the second game in the regular season, played in Ginásio Nilson Nelson, Brasília, Marquinhos and Marcelinho of Flamengo were healthy, and thanks to another spectacular game from Laprovíttola, who recorded 33 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, Flamengo won 81–79, ending a four-and-a-half year winless stretch in Brasilia, and bringing the number of wins for each team level in NBB.
On 16 December 2014, the teams met each other in the first game of the 2014–15 NBB season, which was played in Rio de Janeiro. Flamengo dominated the whole game, but after a come-back from Brasilia, led by the former Flamengo guard Fred Santos, the game was tied in the last seconds. The head coach Vidal, from Brasilia, called a timeout with 6 seconds remaining in the game. After the timeout, guard Fúlvio de Assis, former São José, turned the ball over, and Flamengo's Benite stole it and ran for the fastbreak to score the game-winning layup with just 1.2 second on the clock. Flamengo won 76–74 and led Brasilia in the season series for the first time since 2009 season.
The all-time record between Flamengo and Brasilia is very balanced: 22 wins for Flamengo against 19 for Brasília in 40 official matches played, excluding friendlies. Counting only the 23 NBB matches, Flamengo leads with 12 wins against 11 wins for Brasília.
