Resumo
A cidade de Rio Claro, nos primórdios do Século XX era muito atrativa, pois tinha uma das economias mais consolidadas dentro do estado de São Paulo após a instauração da Companhia Paulista de Estradas de Ferro no município, e com isso prosperou nas primeiras décadas do século passado. Muitas pessoas chegavam por meio das ferrovias, até que no início dos anos 30, um imigrante vindo do Líbano, chegou à “cidade azul” para colocar, até então um esporte não muito praticado, como uma das grandes marcas da cidade. O esporte em questão era o basquetebol, que na época em questão era chama de bola ao cesto, e o cidadão, que chegou e fez toda diferença, foi Felipe Karam, que foi um dos sócios-fundadores do Bandeirantes, que depois de décadas de sucesso, se fundiu à equipe de basquetebol do Clube de Campo de Rio Claro, formando a equipe oficial do município, o atual Rio Claro Basquete. Felipe, como era aficionado pelo esporte, teve papel importante como técnico do Bandeirantes, levando a equipe à títulos importantes na época, e, também era importante para a comunidade fazendo parte de diversas diretorias de clubes pela cidade, como o Grupo Ginástico Rio-clarense e o Clube de Campo de Rio Claro. Felipe, após a maior parte de sua vida dedicada ao esporte que mais amava, morreu no final da década de 1970 e, posteriormente, após a sua morte, teve um decreto, com o qual seu nome, foi dado ao Ginásio de Esportes do município, o qual teve um papel preponderante na construção do mesmo, para o Jogos Abertos de 1949, realizado na cidade de Rio Claro.
