My Take
The 2005 Most Improved Player Award is what makes Bobby Simmons fascinating to me. That trophy is not for the prodigy who arrived fully formed; it goes to the grinder who reinvents himself, and a 198cm Chicagoan out of DePaul who survived in the NBA across five teams from 2001 to 2012 clearly did exactly that. I have always been drawn to the most-improved type more than the natural talent, because their leap is proof of relentless work rather than gift. His career reads to me as the honest persistence of a journeyman who refused to settle, and there is real Chicago grit in that.
