Derrick Rose named MVP

CHICAGO (AP)—Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose is the NBA’s MVP, becoming the youngest player in league history to win the award, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.

The person spoke Monday night on the condition of anonymity because a formal announcement has not been made. That could come Tuesday, with a formal presentation before Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The news is hardly a surprise.

Rose is the second Bulls player to win the MVP but has a ways to go before he catches Michael Jordan, who won five—but he sure is off to a good start. In his third year, the dynamic point guard led the Bulls to their best season since the Jordan-Scottie Pippen championship era.

“If I get it? It’ll be nice, unbelievable, a goal that in the beginning in the year I said I wanted to achieve,” Rose said recently when asked what the award would mean to him. “It would be huge, not only for me, but for the city.”

He ended the two-year MVP reign of LeBron James, who spurned the Bulls and bolted from Cleveland to form a superstar triumvirate with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami. The 22-year-old Rose also supplanted Wes Unseld as the youngest MVP. He was 23 was the rookie of the year and MVP with Baltimore Bullets for the 1968-69 season.

I'm not a fan and I don't think he will be better than Kobe, Jordan or LeBron who all failed to win it at such a young age.

He has the stats though, can't really argue. Usually 5-10 players could win it and you couldn't argue.

My biggest complaint is it seems the media chooses who wins this sometimes during the season. The media campaign for Rose was pathetic and everyone knew he was going to win. Any journalist who wrote an article about Rose being the best candidate for the MVP should be ashamed.

No knock on Rose here, I just don't like that. I haven't read 50 articles predictingTom Thibodeau being coach of the year, I found out when it happened.

    • His play style isn’t what’s needed and he’s slow to get off the time. Watching some of these all 22 clips and there’s once again a massive lack of speed on the field. 3rd year in a row I’ve said from day 1 Bryce needs route runners. He’s had one pure route runner and he turned Thielen into a 1000 yard receiver. At age 35. The Panthers drafted Young to be a “point guard” and proceeded to give him the exact opposite of what he’s needed. It would sure be nice to have a deep threat as well. Something Bryce had at Bama  
    • I'm the same and I just gave up on it years ago.  I expect the new sale to make it a worse fall into making bigger revenue streams and that's not going to be offline franchise. 
    • Renfrow for being a role player has been 100% fine.  Heck he should have at least 4 TDs.  Bryce Young just can’t throw the ball.  When he does look Renfrows way and he is open it’s almost always just a bad throw.  Renfrow also has been out there setting great picks like the big play to TMac, getting Bryce Young horrible turnovers wiped on away from the play routes etc.  You could literally already make a highlight real of bad throws to him by Bryce and none of that is pimping Renfrow.   It just highlights Bryce fails at basics over and over every week without fail
