It was probably inevitable at this point, but on Tuesday we learned that Knicks forward Julius Randle was named the NBA’s Most Improved Player for the 2020-21 season.
Randle improved in pretty much every conceivable facet of his game this season as he transformed from a player Knicks fans couldn’t wait to be rid of to an All-Star and the best player on a postseason squad. The Knicks had a ton of contributors in 2020-21, but there’s no doubt they never would have gotten so far without Randle’s splendid metamorphosis.
How did the Knicks break the news to Julius?
