Julius Randle turned himself into the star the New York Knicks needed to make it back to the playoffs, and that has earned him some significant hardware.
The NBA named Randle the Most Improved Player of the 2020-21 season on Tuesday, and the league had someone special give him the trophy:

Randle beat out finalists Michael Porter Jr. and Jerami Grant for the honor. With 98 out of 100 first-place votes, Randle was the runaway winner.
