Basketball On The Internet.

SUZY Batkovic had one of the most outstanding personal games in the WNBL's grand final history to help Townsville clinch the championship in what was a landmark season for the superstar.

She lifted the Fire onto her shoulders and carried them to the Promised Land and what a year it was for the 37-year-old.

Batkovic not only was in the WNBL All Star Five, she won Townsville's club MVP award, the league's Most Valuable Player award and was the Rachael Sporn Medallist as the Grand Final Series MVP.

That's called a complete sweep.
