LJUBLJANA (Reuters) - Slovenian basketball champion Goran Dragic, who led the national team to its first Eurobasket title on Sunday, said he no longer plans to play for the national team.

"I have achieved what I wanted and I think it is right to end it at this point," the 31-year-old team captain told a news conference on Tuesday. He is due to return to the United States on Thursday, where he plays for the NBA's Miami Heat.
