Kelsey Griffin could think of few better ways to reach the end of the road.

Standing in the centre of a crowded AIS Arena court clutching the WNBL championship trophy for the second time in as many years, she gives the notion a thought.
Retirement wouldn't seem the most absurd path for the Canberra Capitals co-captain after helping her club sweep the Southside Flyers in a 71-68 thriller on Wednesday.
But then again, here we have a 32-year-old who is still one of the finest players this league has to offer.
The four-time WNBL champion knows she has more to give and the Capitals would jump at the chance to retain her, but a torrid injury run means nobody could begrudge her if this is truly it.
"I definitely have more in the tank, but we'll see what happens. I'm just going to enjoy this," Griffin said.

"I don't take these opportunities for granted. I don't know when another one is going to come along, and I don't know if I'm ever going to play with that calibre of people again.
"Injuries are humbling in a sense that they let you know you're still human. To be able to come back, the support staff around me was amazing, to be able to be fit for this season was definitely a team effort.
"It's unreal. This season has been such a roller coaster and we knew it was going to be that way, finding our chemistry early on and having highs and lows.
"This team is just so resilient, and they have done everything I have ever asked them to do and bought into it. They've worked so hard and that's why I am so proud of them.
"It wasn't easy. Nothing really was easy this year but we just kept grinding it out. That's what makes this one so special."
Griffin came up with a game-high 13 rebounds - level with Southside star Mercedes Russell - to help the Capitals complete a thrilling two-nil series sweep.
It was a remarkable way for Canberra to cap off a season that so often seemed as though it might slide off the rails.
They fell to the league's bottom-placed teams in consecutive games, they lost players to injury and hit the road for a grand final series opener.
But through it all they continued to rise off the canvas. Capitals coach Paul Goriss knows a feat like this is something Canberra could not have even considered without Griffin on their roster.
"At her age, what she puts her body through is unbelievable." Goriss said.
"She is forever in the gym, forever finding a way to work out and stay at the top of her game. She probably rides her body too hard, but you see why she does it.
"She comes up with massive plays and she is a winner."
Perhaps it would be fitting for Griffin to finish as such. But few players could ever dream to possess the drive which makes her so great.
Perhaps that is why she may yet go around one more time.
