Quebradillas Pirates

The Piratas de Quebradillas is a basketball team of the National Superior Basketball League of Puerto Rico (BSN). Founded in the 1930s, it is one of the original teams of the league.

Many famous players have played for the Piratas, including Teique Linares and Neftali Rivera . But most famous of all is the legendary Raymond Dalmau, who led the team to their four League Titles in 1970, 1977, 1978 and 1979. In the years 1980 and 1982, Quebradillas returned to the finals but were defeated by the Mets de Guaynabo.

Quebradillas had serious financial problems in 2003 that led them to lose the rights to all their players, among them Richie Dalmau and Ricardo Dalmau. The team was bought by new owners and was able to participate in the 2004 tournament of the Puerto Rican League.

However, economic difficulties continued and on September, 2004 the team announced they would not participate in 2005 tournament.
