Raptors pushing Siakam for Most Improved Player with 'Spicy P' hot sauce
Pascal Siakam has built himself quite a case for the NBA's Most Improved Player award this season, but a little extra incentive for voters courtesy of the Toronto Raptors certainly couldn't hurt.
Working off the 24-year-old forward's nickname, the Raptors have started campaigning for votes by sending out bottles of "Spicy P" hot sauce to potential voters, including ESPN's Zach Lowe.
Maybe @Rjeff24 and I can agree on this: if the sauce tastes bad, or isn't spicy enough, should it have an impact on the vote? pic.twitter.com/oM34rajk09

Siakam is averaging a career-best 17 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 3.1 assists over 75 appearances for the 53-23 Raptors. He's also shooting 54.9 percent from the field and 35.6 percent from deep this season.
