World number one Dusan eyes All-Stars glory in Doha

World's premier player Dusan Domovic Bulut is keen to wind up the  2016 season with a win today when he leads Novi Sad Al Wahda at the FIBA 3x3 All-Stars competition.
The 31-year-old Serbian yesterday said he couldn't achieve the goals which he targeted at the start of the season.
"This has not been a great season. I couldn't achieve what I wanted to do in 2016," Dusan said ahead of today's one-day 3x3 spectacle that takes place at Al Gharafa Indoor Hall.
Seven other teams are also in line to compete for the top prize of $20,000.
"I think I have already played something like 25 tournaments. We could have had better results than we did," Dusan said.
"Right now I am only interested in winning the top prize. I want some money and a vacation after that," Dusan said with his trademark smile in place.
"I can't wait for tomorrow. This is my fourth time here in Doha," the two-time All-Star winner said. "I have done well here," he added.
Dusan, who will team up with Marko Zdero, Dejan 'The Maestro' Majstorovic and Marco Savic today, said world standards in 3x3 basketball were at an all-time high.
"Competition nowadays is higher. We constantly compete with tougher players and teams. It is serious business now. There are some solid teams competing here. The Americans are good and so are the university sides from Canada," Dusan said.
"I would say it is a tough business," he said. "You see players with passion trying to win games and competitions," Dusan said.
"My expectation from this event is that I need some money. We want to win $20,000," Dusan said. "We know we have to play our best game. I think we have arrived well prepared," he said.
"We play the best 3x3. Everything is great in our side," Dusan said. "We will show everyone why we are the best team," the Serbian said.
Hamane Niang, FIBA Africa President and FIBA Vice President, said this week's All-Stars competition will be the final edition of the hugely followed event.
"From next year, we will see the event on the World Tour calendar. This will be the final All-Stars edition in Doha. The exact details will be announced at a later date. The All-Stars was launched in 2012 and it has been a huge success," Niang said yesterday.
Launched four years ago, the World Tour is the flagship event of 3x3 basketball, a format that sees huge following around the globe.
The World Tour is contested by cities from around the world. The number of events on the World Tour saw an increase from seven to eight in the 2016 season.
The second-placed team in Doha gets $14,000 while the team that finished third wins $8,000. There is a special prize of $2,000 for the Most Spectacular Player of the Season.
The competition starts at 4:45pm and ends around 9:00m with the prize distribution ceremony.
