Career highlights and awards

George Frederico Torres Homem Chaia, commonly known as "Gegê" Chaia (born February 3, 1991 in Rio de Janeiro), is a Brazilian professional basketball player who currently plays as point guard for Minas Tênis Clube in the Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB).

Professional career

Gegê started his career at Tijuca, but then moved to Spanish club Baloncesto Torrejón in 2008, where he became a professional player.

In 2010, he transferred to Flamengo on a one season loan spell. In that season he won the LBD championship.

Tijuca Tênis Clube

For the 2011–12 NBB season, he signed with his former club, Tijuca Tênis Clube, and debuted in the NBB. He didn't have any impressive numbers, but managed to play in four postseason games.

Flamengo

In 2012, Gegê once again signed with Flamengo. This time with more experience, he became the team's back-up point guard, winning the 2012-13 NBB league.

In the next season, Gegê got even more court time, being more consistent in the team's rotation. In this season, he got his career high so far, with 6.2 points per game and 5.4 assists per game. He won the 2014 FIBA Americas League and the 2013-14 NBB league.

His most important career achievement came at the beginning of the 2014-15 season, when Flamengo defeated Maccabi Tel Aviv, on aggregate score, in a two-game series, to become the 2014 FIBA Intercontinental Cup champions.
