There was talk of All-Star teams and playoff runs, of different varieties of greatness. Rockets television announcer Bill Worrell even said Aaron Brooks, who on Thursday was named the winner of the NBA Most Improved Player Award, could be “as great” as Worrell’s longtime on-air partner, Hall of Famer Calvin Murphy.

Brooks, however, set his sights on an unprecedented achievement perhaps even more difficult. The 25th winner of the award said he would aim to win it again.

“I still have a lot of improvement (to do),” Brooks said. “With that said, hopefully I can win this award next year. I know (it would) be the first time that happened, but that would be nice.”

Brooks was a runaway winner of the 2010 award, earning 403 of a possible 615 points. He received 62 first-place votes from a panel of 123 writers and broadcasters. Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant, San Antonio’s George Hill and Memphis’ Marc Gasol were tied for second with 101 points, with Durant garnering the second-most first-place votes at 17.
