Tiago Splitter Beims, born on January 1, 1985, in Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Brazil, established a significant career in professional basketball across both playing and coaching roles. He began his playing career in 1999, moving to Spain’s Liga ACB in 2000. During his tenure in Spain, Splitter became a naturalized Spanish citizen in 2004 and achieved notable success, being named MVP of the Spanish Supercup tournament in 2006 and 2007. He was also selected for the All-EuroLeague First Team in the 2007–08 season and the All-EuroLeague Second Team in 2008–09 before earning the Spanish League MVP award in 2010. These achievements highlighted his impact in European basketball prior to his move to the NBA.
Splitter’s NBA career commenced after being drafted 28th overall by the San Antonio Spurs in the 2007 NBA Draft. He officially joined the Spurs in 2010, signing a three-year contract. His most productive NBA season was in 2012–13, where he averaged 10.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. A career highlight came in 2014 when he became the first Brazilian-born player to win an NBA championship with the San Antonio Spurs. Following his time with the Spurs, he played for the Atlanta Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers before announcing his retirement from playing in 2018 due to a hip injury. His jersey number 21 was retired by Saski Baskonia in 2024, recognizing his contributions to the club.
After retiring as a player, Splitter transitioned into coaching. He joined the Brooklyn Nets in 2018 as a pro scout, later being promoted to player development coach in 2019. In 2023, he became an assistant coach for the Houston Rockets. His coaching career also includes international experience as an assistant coach for the Brazilian national team since 2021, and leading the Brazilian U23 national team to a gold medal at the GLOBL Jam Tournament in 2022. Most recently, in 2024, he took on the head coach position for Paris Basketball, where he achieved a French championship and French Cup victory in 2025, before moving to become an assistant coach for the Portland Trail Blazers in 2025.
