Julius Randle's Son Surprises Him With Most Improved Player Award

Julius Randle found out that he won the NBA's Most Improved Player Award on Tuesday, but it wasn't through a phone call, email or random leaked tweet.

Instead, his four-year-old son, Kyden, ran onto the court, sporting his father's jersey, with the piece of hardware in his hand. Randle's teammates clapped behind him as he gave Kyden a hug.

The first time All-Star forward has dominated this season as the Knicks found themselves in the postseason for the first time since 2013. The 26-year-old has averaged career-highs with 24.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists, while shooting 41.
