ChannelDescription http://www.euroleague.net/rssfeed/829/2621.xml Wed, 21 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT Among the many remarkable aspects to CSKA Moscow's first continental title in decades was Ettore Messina doing a masterful job as coach despite a medical scare that struck his family in Prague. On the eve of the semifinal, Messina's 16-month-old son Filippo was overcome by viral infection and needed to be revived by emergency measures before spending the next week hospitalized under intensive care. When not actually on-court coaching, Messina was mostly at his son's hospital bedside during Final Four weekend. That he could still lead CSKA to the title was incredible, but as Messina says in this Euroleague.net interview, he only coped under trying circumstances thanks to the support of many people behind the scenes. http://www.euroleague.net/features/interviews/euroleague-2005-06/i/42658/2613/euroleague-net-interview-ettore-messina-cska-moscow http://www.euroleague.net/features/interviews/euroleague-2005-06/i/42658/2613/euroleague-net-interview-ettore-messina-cska-moscow Sun, 14 May 2006 00:00:00 GMT Paulius Norkunas of Lithuania was the 2005-06 Euroleague Basketball Fantasy Challenge winner and the Euroleague's special guest during Final Four weekend, winning a trip for two to Prague and VIP status for the all games. http://www.euroleague.net/features/interviews/euroleague-2005-06/i/42663/2613/fantasy-challenge-winner-interview-paulius-norkunas http://www.euroleague.net/features/interviews/euroleague-2005-06/i/42663/2613/fantasy-challenge-winner-interview-paulius-norkunas Fri, 26 May 2006 00:00:00 GMT Theodoros Papaloukas of CSKA Moscow is the king of European basketball.
