C.J. McCollum

Portland guard C.J. McCollum was voted the NBA’s Most Improved Player for the 2015-16 season. McCollum more than tripled his scoring average from the previous season.

The Most Improved Player award usually goes to a young, up-and-coming player. Remarkably, Stephen Curry finished fourth in the voting this year, in spite of the fact that he was the league’s MVP last season!

Curry is not one to rest on his laurels. He works hard to improve his game, and his efforts did not go unnoticed.

No matter how far along we are in our walk with Jesus, we should never be satisfied with our performance. We should always be striving to improve our thoughts, attitudes and behaviors, so that we may do a better job of showing Jesus to the world.

“Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress.”—1 Timothy 4:15.
