During the regular season, there wasn’t any one guy who meant more to his team than Derrick Rose meant to the Chicago Bulls. His elevated play this season is why they own the league’s best record. So it’s only right that Rose was named the MVP, and the youngest to ever win this award…
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.
