There’s no doubt Jimmy Butler should be an All-Star this season. The 25-year-old shooting guard is averaging a career best in points, rebounds, blocks and assists for the Chicago Bulls. According to NBA writer, Chris Palmer, Butler shouldn’t just be in the Most Improved Player discussion but also Most Valuable Player.
Forget about Most Improved put Jimmy Butler in the MVP conversation.

Obviously the other MVP contenders, James Harden, Steph Curry and Anthony Davis seem like more likely candidates to win the award this year. Nonetheless, Butler, one of the best two-way players in the NBA, deserves to be in MVP discussion.
