Derrick Rose:"Why can't i be MVP?"

[bdreason]

If the Bulls somehow managed the best record out East, and Rose averages something like 20/5/8... I think he could pull off MVP.

[97 bulls]

I honestly feel he has a shot. Wade and bron are gonna cancel each other out. Kobe is getting old and is probably gonna decline statistically. The only surefire one is durant. And I don't see the thunder being better than the bulls record wise. So it comes down to stats.

Durant 29ppg 7rebs 5asst on a 50 win team

Rose 24ppg 5rebs 8asst 50 win team

[magnax1]

Right now I'd say he'd have a chance if he gets something like 24-8, which I'm sure he wont, but if he does he can. Right now I think the MVP race looks like
1-Durant
2-Kobe (Who I think should be 1, but media is pushing Durant)
3-Dwight (If he gets his offensive game together, he could easily be the top player in the league)
4-Rose/D-Will/CP3/someone else

I would agree

[Kiddlovesnets]

Umm Rose you aint gonna be a MVP as a PG with only 6 apg.

[All Net]

We will see about that this season. Stars normally breakout out in their 3rd season.

Rose is very good but doubt he will ever be the MVP talks.

[Sarcastic]

Right now: no
In 5 years: maybe

[drwax26]

For Rose to Win MVP he will have to lead the team to a top 2 record in the east. Average about 21ppg/10apg/4-5rpg. The thunder arent better than the bulls by the way....

Rose>Westbrook
Brewer>Sefalosha or even harden
Deng<<<Durant
Boozer>>>Green
Noah>>>Kristic

[Go Getter]

People act like MVP is strictly a performance award.

If Rose keeps a positive attitude, starts leading the Bulls by playing ball the right way, improves his game and has a lot of luck he might win one but it will be difficult.

Yep thats the right way to compare teams

True, but noting he posted was false. On paper we have the better squad.

Well if you guys are gonna factor in D-Rose's improvment next season with how well you'll do why not factor in Durants and Westbrook

LOL

Rose is only slightly better then Westbrook. And even then ONLY at scoring.
Boozer is only slightly better then Green.
Durant is SOOOO far better then anyone on the Bulls at all.
Noah is better then Kristic even if per minute their numbers are about the same.
And Brewer isn't better then either SG.

I'd take the Thunder starting 5 any day of the week on paper.

And here's the kicker. The Thunder bench >>>>>>> Bulls crap bench. Bulls have no depth and only a so-so starting 5. The Thunder have a very good starting 5 and a solid bench.

On paper the Thunder are easily better. And on the court last year they won 8 more games then the Bulls since paper doesn't matter much.

Can't wait for you to hate Boozer just like everyone else he played for does. But hey, on paper is exactly how he plays.

[liquidrage]

And Harden's and Maynor's and Ibaka's and Green's and I'll pretend Cole is a monster as a rookie to boot. BJ Mullens is going to wreck people this year since we're in pretend land.

Rose just looked AWESOME this summer though.
