Compared to the more celebrated postseason awards -- such as the MVP, the league's outstanding defender and the most prolific sixth man -- the Most Improved Player seems to be a marginal, if not dubious, honor.
However, as past recipients have demonstrated, being named the MIP can bring a player the benefits of a lucrative, long-term contract. For example, the likes of Gilbert Arenas, Monta Ellis, Zach Randolph and Danny Granger.
Thus far this season, Raymond Felton and Russell Westbrook have been widely promoted as being two of the leading candidates. But in the Knicks' 112-98 blowout of the visiting Thunder, the face-to-face matchup between these two point guards was utterly decisive.
