The breakout arrives in 2015: Butler becomes the Bulls' leading scorer, wins the NBA's Most Improved Player award, and earns his first All-Star spot. A kid who once had no stable home is now one of the league's best two-way players. #MostImprovedPlayer #NBAAllStar #BreakoutSeason

This is beyond ridiculous. A fan favorite everywhere she goes turns worldbeater and reaches b2b slam finals without ever having advamced past the 2nd round at any slam before? WOW, just....wow. #paolini #mostimprovedplayer #wta #tennis
I don't wanna go all "the bad place" and lead with rage, but...

Jasmine Paolini not even getting NOMINATED for Most Improved Player is ridiculous.

I'm sure there's some semantic technicality that disqualifies her, but nobody improved more year over year.

Between last season and this season Veronica Burton is scoring 4x as many points per game, getting 3x as many rebounds, assists and blocks per game and averaging over twice as many steals per game.

#MostImprovedPlayer: 2024-25

I've finally caught up to the present! The most recent winner of the coveted George Mikan Trophy was the Hawks' Dyson Daniels, who earned 44 first-place votes and 332 total points. The Clippers' Ivica Zubac was second with 23 and 186.

#MostImprovedPlayer: 2023-24

Back in 2021-22, Philadelphia's Tyrese Maxey received six first-place votes for MIP. A couple of years later, he earned 51 first-place votes and 319 total points, just enough to sneak past Chicago's Coby White (32 and 305).
September 15, 2025 at 3:44 PM
#MostImprovedPlayer: 2022-23

For the first time in franchise history, my beloved Utah Jazz claimed the MIP trophy. Lauri Markkanen received 69 first-place votes and 430 total points. Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was second with 24 and 289.
September 11, 2025 at 8:45 PM
#MostImprovedPlayer: 2021-22

In another close MIP race, Memphis' Ja Morant beat out San Antonio's Dejounte Murray with 38 first-place votes and 221 total points to Murray's 20 and 183. The next two were close, too — Cleveland's Darius Garland (11, 178) and Golden State's Jordan Poole (15, 131).

#MostImprovedPlayer: 2020-21

For the second time, the MIP winner came just two votes shy of being a unanimous pick. New York's Julius Randle hoarded 98 of the 100 available first-place votes. Detroit's Jerami Grant took the two remaining votes.

#MostImprovedPlayer: 2019-20

It's been a while, but we finally got another closely contested race. New Orleans' Brandon Ingram received 42 first-place votes and 326 total points, just edging out Miami's Bam Adebayo, who had 38 first-place votes and 295 total points.
September 10, 2025 at 3:55 PM
#MostImprovedPlayer: 2018-19

Once again, we had a very clear-cut winner in the MIP race. Toronto's Pascal Siakam dominated the voting with 86 first-place votes. Brooklyn's D'Angelo Russell had 12, and Sacramento's De'Aaron Fox and Minnesota's Derrick Rose each had one.
September 9, 2025 at 8:35 PM
#MostImprovedPlayer: 2017-18

We very nearly got the first unanimous MIP winner this year. Indiana's Victor Oladipo received 99 of the 101 available first-place votes. Houston's Clint Capela and Brooklyn's Spencer Dinwiddie claimed the two remaining votes.
September 9, 2025 at 4:03 PM
#MostImprovedPlayer: 2016-17

In 2014-15, Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo received one first-place vote for MIP. The next season, he got four. This year, he ran away with the award, claiming 80 first-place votes and 428 total points. Denver's Nikola Jokic was a distant second with 14 and 161.
September 8, 2025 at 8:41 PM
#MostImprovedPlayer: 2015-16

Jimmy Butler's 92 first-place votes was impressive, but that mark was beat just one year later. Portland's CJ McCollum claimed an astounding 101 first-place votes and 559 total points. No other player received even double-digit first-place votes.

#MostImprovedPlayer: 2014-15

Back when I started this deep dive, I complained that the MIP trophy was named after George Mikan, a man who was a superstar from Day One and never needed to improve. Somebody suggested they name it after Jimmy Butler, instead, and it's hard to argue against that.
