If, God forbid, I forgot about anyone, please, correct me in the comment box.

Legends.
Legends everywhere.
As anyone could imagine, Pionir Hall had a brutally full house, people were sitting even on the ceiling. Everyone was screaming, chanting, singing, cheering, getting emotional, applausing and enjoying themselves a lot.
Just like a very big family with too many members.
SOS Kanal was nice enough to put the match on their schedule for all those who couldn't be there for financial, distantial or other reasons, with lots of interviews, fun and nostalgia

but for God's sake, they started it with a 30-minute delay, they knew everyone was watching them and only them, they just had to put 3 tons of commercial spots before the game, may devils take them for a sledge-ride on their birthday

so now I treat you, too, with a big bunch of photos, videos and others. Enjoy!

Warming-up is the core of every game



The number of legends per person was too damn high

Of course, Miša Tumbas was also there

What is more, at this game Miša was the member of Duško Vujošević’s coach staff

There were a lot of legends and famous people on the tribunes, too. The entire football team was there as well as former players, current players of Partizan’s other departments and Partizan-fan celebrities.

Then came the moment when the players of both teams were called on the ground one after the other. Ovation, emotions, nostalgia, a few tears, just in secret.

The game was exactly as it had to be. Everyone enjoyed their time, the fans even started to chant "hoćemo pobedu" (we want victory) in the heat of the match.

One legend plus one legend make two legends

This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship


At the end: group hug


After the match Josh Akognon was asked about his first impressions. He claimed, never ever in his life he has experienced it. Never. Not even in college championship, nor NBA, China or any other European country he has played at so far.


- It’s crazy. It makes you wanna win - he said to SOS Kanal’s reporter.
Old friends were also following the events, and even if they couldn’t be there, they still sent their greetings.




The charity game was to help the basketball club in their poor financial conditions.
