Michael Jordan basically mindfucked everyone
when he planted the fact that Derrick
Rose will be the 2010-11 NBA MVP.
He
didn’t need it though.
Indeed,
there was no other choice here except for D-Rose.
Rose
ousted then 23-year-old Rookie MVP Wes
Unseld of the Baltimore Bullets as the league’s youngest Most Valuable Player winner.
He did
this at 22.
Ever
since former Boston Celtics assistant coach
and current Chicago Bull mentor (not to mention the newly-crowned Coach of the Year) Tom Thibodeau (I
must learn to memorize his surname) stepped in, he brought out the best in
Rose. Despite failing to acquire free agency’s biggest names like LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and
Amar’e Stoudemire... and failing to use Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah in long stretches, Chicago still had
a 62-20 record – the last time they
had this feat was when Jordan and Scottie
Pippen were playing for Da Bulls.
With
this feat, he was the second Bull to score the feat since Jordan did it during
the 1990’s.
Dwight Howard was hailed second and an All-NBA First Team citation is in the
works for him but I can’t say the same for Lebron
James, Kobe Bryant, and Kevin Durant since the First Team usually inserts a
power forward in the mix. It will be either LBJ would be placed on the PF spot
or Amar’e Stoudemire or Dirk Nowitzki
will be placed in the PF spot with the loser of the Bryant-Durant tussle will
drop to the Second Team. Lebron is a sure fix at the First Team spot.
Again,
congratulations to Derrick Rose!
Game
over!
