A basketball player, wearing a white jersey with the word "ROCKETS" across the front, holds a basketball away from another basketball player guarding him. A referee stands in the background. — Tracy McGrady (right) won the award in the 2000–01 NBA season.

Template:FixBunching

Template:FixBunching The National Basketball Association's Most Improved Player Award is an annual National Basketball Association (NBA) award given since the 1985–86 NBA season, to the most improved player of the regular season. The winner is selected by a panel of sportswriters throughout the United States and Canada, each of whom casts a vote for first, second and third place selections. Each first-place vote is worth five points; each second-place vote is worth three points; and each third-place vote is worth one point. The player with the highest point total, regardless of the number of first-place votes, wins the award.

Since its inception, the award has been given to 25 different players. The most recent award winner was Aaron Brooks. As of 2008, none of the award winners have ever gone on to win the NBA Championships. Hedo Türkoğlu, Rony Seikaly, Gheorghe Mureşan and Boris Diaw are the only award winners not born in the United States.
