For three our team’s players this morning began from visiting Children's Cancer Station at the Virchow Hospital in Berlin.
Trajan Langdon, Nikos Zisis and Zoran Planinic joined their opponents from the other teams who participate in the Euroleague Final Four- Barcelona’s Gianluca Basile and Roger Grimau, Olympiacos’ Josh Childress, Jannero Pargo and Georgios Printezis, Panathinaikos’ Dusan Kecman and Kostas Tsartsaris. Also in attendance were two players from Berlin, Ademola Okulaja and Patrick Femerling.
The visit brought some mixed feelings. CSKA players made no secret that it is difficult to be there, in between kids who are in an unfortunate situation. From the other side, the handshakes, some good words, gifts and autographs on the official Final Four basketballs give the chance to return the smiles on the faces of these youngsters. And to thank God (or fortune) that you and your family avoided similar problems.
