2010-2011 NBA Season Thread

Honestly, who cares what sportswriters and broadcasters think? It's a popularity contest and nothing more. Let the players vote on who's most valuable. That would be a more meaningful award.

Agreed guess what rose would still win

D-ROSE

[Dimmauk]

Sorry must have misread the Scoop Jackson is a columnist for ESPNChicago.

[Rhinox]

Click his archive and tell me how many articles is about Chicago


If you don't know who scoop is you know nothing about basketball

D-ROSE

[Dimmauk]

I do know he is a columnist for ESPNChicago that wrote a column posted on a site that visited by Chicago fans. But hey, if you dont think rose is MVP, then you dont know basketball! AMIRITE?

1. Scoop is a knicks fan.

2. stop talking. rose wins. if it's not rose it's lebron/howard. no one playing on the west coast should be in this discussion

[Deejay]

You are just as bad posting an article from big media market chicago writer stool jackson. Of course he thinks his guy is the MVP. The bulls would still make the playoffs without rose, but the magic wouldnt without howard. He is more valuable to his team. Or does most valuable mean making money in big markets? lol

You're a fucking idiot if you think MVP has ever been chosen this way. If you want to go by this logic, then Jason Kidd deserved the MVP every year that Duncan won it.

Michael Jordan was the best player from 92-99 and his team would have made the playoffs every year without him. But by your logic, players like Hakeem, Ewing, and Barkley should have won the MVP during Jordan's / Bulls prime.

1. Is Stan Van Gundy correct? Have we already anointed D-Rose as MVP?


Henry Abbott, TrueHoop: Anyone with a pulse would be very happy for Derrick Rose, and maybe he should win it if nothing else as a thank-you for the thrills, the work and the wins. But LeBron James is a better player, playing just as he did when he ran away with this award the past two seasons. Beyond bitterness, is there a reason to disqualify him so early?

J.A. Adande, ESPN.com: Yes, Stan Van Gundy is correct. The media have decided Rose is the MVP, and the media hate changing the story once it's written. But the media are correct, too. Rose and the Bulls are having a better season than Dwight Howard and the Magic.

Kevin Arnovitz: Heat Index: The media and fans like novelty because it keeps the narrative interesting. That means that whenever there's a legitimate candidate for MVP who hasn't previously been in the conversation, we tend to gravitate toward him. And when that candidate's team loses only three times in six weeks, the momentum builds. This is true in basketball or baseball.


5 on 5: Rose is the MVP?

Have you made your choice for NBA MVP already? Stan Van Gundy might want a word with you. SN: Poll

Chris Sheridan, ESPN New York: I am with Van Gundy on this one, and he is on point: I am as guilty as anyone of anointing Rose the MVP prematurely, but I am on solid ground in doing so.

Look where the Bulls are. Then ask why they are there. This guy has been the consummate leader for them, and the leap he has made in his outside shooting has been astounding.

Marc Stein, ESPN.com: I would appear to be guilty. The Bulls would have to hit a serious skid here in their last 12 games to convince me otherwise.

Howard has played at a higher level of statistical efficiency and has kept Orlando in the top five defensively all season, even though he's surrounded by bad defenders. But the combination of the on-the-court load that Rose shoulders along with the galvanizing effect he's had as a leader for a team that's exceeded all expectations with Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah combining to miss 54 games … yup. Guilty.


We all know that Rose is going to get it, but like I said, Howard deserves it more.

Did you read that article? LOL

guys just hating the best PG since Magic.

[Dimmauk]

You didnt unline the parts where they agree with Van Gundy.

LOL, that can be your one dumb post of the day.

lol, man you are getting out of control

[Akiyama]

Did you guys just meet Rhinox or something? Don't act surprised all the sudden, lol

[Kaslo]

I love the comments in the article. "Rose is the MVP because he is destroying every PG he plays against." He didn't do that to Westbrook. Its always a draw when they face each other. Plus, Rose should be discounted because he plays in the lolEast.

lol? they agreed that the media has anointed him but they disagree with him in the fact that they think its well deserved.

Yet they've beaten every 'elite' team in the west.

[Man0warr]

I'd take Paul, Williams, and Nash over Rose. The best point guards are point multipliers - Rose is an amazing individual player though.
