Butler Gets Votes to Win Kia NBA Most Improved Player for 2014-15 Season

Chicago Bulls' Jimmy Butler was named the NBA’s most improved player for the 2014-15 season.

Butler, in his fourth season in the NBA, racked up career highs in scoring, rebounding and assists. Butler also made his first trip to the NBA All-Star Game as a reserve for the East. The Most Improved Player Award was created to recognize an up-and-coming player who has made a dramatic improvement from the previous season or seasons.

Butler is the first Bull to win the award since its inception in 1985-86.

Congratulations to Jimmy Butler; we’re looking forward to seeing more of his brilliance in the 2015-16 NBA season.
