Gamethread Girl: Marie Curie
Marie Curie (1867–1934) was a brilliant Polish/French scientist. Her research on radioactivity earned her a Nobel Prize at the turn of the century, and she received a second Nobel Prize in 1911 for her work in chemistry. She was the first person to ever win Nobel in two separate categories. She also helped develop the first X-ray machines.
Given Utah's current chemistry, the way other teams are disintegrating before us like so much radioactive decay, and her connection to Rudy's homeland, she makes for a perfect Gamethread Girl. She once said "
One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done." May our Utah Jazz focus on the task ahead, without resting on their laurels, tonight.
