The Chicago Bulls (51-19) as you may or may not know are a half-game ahead of the Boston Celtics for first in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls have the best record in the East even though they’ve had to play much of the season without Carlos Boozer (two stints with injuries) and spent significant time sans center Joakim Noah.
So, how do the Bulls currently have the top spot in the East? Because of DERRICK ROSE! Before the season, Rose asked, “Why can’t I be the MVP of the league?" At this stage, it sure looks like he is the MVP. D-Rose is the only player in the NBA to be in the top 10 in scoring and assists. He averages 24.9 points per game, 7.8 assists per game and 4.2 rebounds per game.
Derrick means everything to the Bulls. Without him the Bulls would lose. He wins without his team being fully healthy. If that’s not an MVP, what is?
