Javier Pulido has won the second edition of the Red Bull King of the Rock, after an exciting final with Milos Damjanovic at the Bognor Sports Complex at Bugibba, in front of a big crowd. The popular summer hotspot hosted this year's Malta Qualfier Finals that saw the last remaining eight players battling it out for a place at the World Finals in Istanbul.

Played as a knock out format, the one-on-one basketball tournament from the world of Red Bull was a great showcase for the game and gave the opportunity to the local basketball community to play in such a prestigious event. In the first round we saw Javier Pulido, David Bugeja, Milos Damnjanovic and Aki Kechagias, cruising through Jan Stupka, Jean Paul Schembri, Ryan Carabott and Nicholas Gutierrez. In the semifinals, local David Bugeja lost a very exciting semifinal against the eventual winner Javir Pulido, whilst Aki Kechagias was very unlucky to lose his advantage to Milos Damnjanovic in the last 2 seconds of the game.

Javier Pulido will now fly to Istanbul in August to represent Malta at the World Finals of the Red Bull King of the Rock.
