The three visited a children's hospital on the outskirts of the Latvian capital to share their experiences as players and provide a welcome break to the patients.
Legendary queens of the hardwood, Mirdza Jonane, Lilita Bergualde, and Silvija Skulme, still know a thing or two about getting over an injury and how tough it is to deal with being ill or under the weather.
Skulme, or "Little Silva" as she was known as a player, won seven European Club Championships between 1969 and 1977 with TTT Riga.
The 59-year-old point guard told the group of children that she wanted them to get better soon so they "could go to practice" with her former teammate Bergualde, who shared in 6 of TTT's European club titles and now works as a basketball coach.
A concerned boy asked how much Bergualde would charge for the practice sessions, but she assured him that they could probably arrange it for free.
The children showed they have been following the ongoing European Championships and could name nearly all the countries participating in the tournament and most of the Latvian women's national team when put to the test by Skulme.
The three former stars also showed the young patients a trick they can use to help them get well. They told the children to clap their hands for thirty seconds and then touch the part of their body that hurts.
"Each time you feel bad, do this and it will help you forget the pain," Skulme told them.
Jonane, a member of the first TTT squad in 1958 and the first international woman referee ever from Latvia, said she was "surprised" by how many people have come to support the Latvian national team.
Some 7,900 fans turned out for their game against Spain.
"[I'm surprised] because men's basketball is very popular, not women's basketball, but in the last three years the number of people is growing because they are playing better," the 76-year old said.
Skulme believes the current Latvian women's team is approaching the level of the great TTT teams from their heyday.
"Now it is getting closer and closer to the tactics and the mental game like when we played in the 60's," she said, but then added with a smile, "if we [the old TTT team] played against the [Latvian national] team now, we would win."
Even so, the young ladies representing Latvia today have no bigger fans than TTT Riga's veterans. If Latvia finishes in the top five and qualifies for the 2009 World Championships in the Czech Republic, the "Ladies Club", the social group of TTT alumni, will be the first ones cheering.
"We will rent a bus and take the entire Ladies Club to Prague!"said the 58-year-old Bergualde.
It is a trip all three stars hope to make.
