We’ve asked our stable of scribes to take one last look back at the 2011 NBA playoffs.
What was the most overrated storyline of the 2011 playoffs?
Steve Aschburner: There was some talk about shifting the balloting for the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award to June, delaying the decision until after The Finals. This was driven partly by LeBron James‘ strong play in the Eastern Conference playoffs and Derrick Rose‘s inability to get Chicago past Miami. Well, guess what? If the MVP vote had been taken this week, Dirk Nowitzki likely would have won, not James. And Nowitzki won the Finals MVP award, so the change would have been superfluous. The arrangement is fine the way it is – regular-season MVP and Finals MVP. It was a storyline that wasn’t so much overrated as manufactured.
Fran Blinebury: The Lakers’ bid for a “three-peat.” They were inconsistent all year, never had the proper focus, never made a commitment to defense, were slow afoot and, except for brief flashes, never played like a championship team from opening night through their embarrassing 4-0 sweep by Dallas. The notion that they were going to turn it on in the playoffs was greatly oversold.
Shaun Powell: Got really tired of hearing how the Lakers were the favorites just because they were defending champs. Well, the West was a toss-up this year. And the Lakers went out weak, much like the Andrew Bynum cheap-shot on J.J. Barea.
John Schuhmann: Before the Heat lost three straight games to end The Finals, there was this idea that LeBron had to put up big numbers to justify his status as the best player, or something like that. The Heat won mostly with defense, and as long as they were winning, it didn’t matter if LeBron was scoring 28 points and Dwyane Wade was scoring 21, or if Wade was scoring 29 and LeBron was scoring 19. They should be evaluated as a team first and foremost.
Sekou Smith: That Derrick Rose‘s exit from the playoffs in the Eastern Conference finals proved he didn’t deserve the MVP award. After a season of debate between the stat crowd and the narrative crowd, Rose had his chance to silence any doubts about his worthiness against LeBron James and the Heat in the conference finals. There’s no doubt he struggled in those five games against the Heat (35 percent shooting, 23 percent from 3-point territory and 3.8 turnovers as his team lost four straight to head into the offseason). But to suggest that his struggles in this one series, or even his postseason stumbles in general, somehow prove that he didn’t deserve that MVP trophy is beyond ridiculous. It’s especially preposterous when you realize that the two players most often mentioned as more deserving (Dwight Howard and LeBron James) experienced playoff flameouts that were equally, if not more dramatic than what Rose experienced.
Derrick Blows is the fake MVP and the series against Miami proved it! What a colossal joke! Chicago needs a new star if they want a chance because he will never win a ring unless it’s under some other superstar’s watch! Give me Chris Paul over this moron any day!
@LOLlakers are you serious? D.Rose was alone vs 3 stars in Miami and the heat barely beat them. The only thing Chicago was missing was a scorer to help Rose. If the Bulls still had Ben Gordon or would’ve got Rip from Detroit they could’ve beat the heat. Overrated yes Lebron’s so called clutch performances what a joke that was. 14 points in finals 4th quarters combined. Some king, also how can he be compared to MJ? Lebron=arrogant overrated LOSER
Yes I’m serious! You think I’m joking? Just look at alot of of the other superstars in the NBA they can score without help and still be pretty efficient! Dirk scored over Miami’s defense even when he was double teamed and Wade constantly scored despite there always being a guy parked in the paint and a double team on him and Lebron whenever they touched the ball! Even the benchwarmer Jeff Teague was able to carve up the Bulls***’s defense! Derrick Blows has to have the lowest FG percentage of any star or at least near the bottom and he takes stupid shots! He’s barely got a jumpshot, he doesn’t have the ability to score at will like Wade, and he constantly turns the ball over! Sure Miami barely beat the Bulls*** if you consider winning 4-1 barely beating them!
if lebrons an arrogant overrated loser that would make D-rose a stupid overrated player who when it mattered rose choked like hitler.
I get really tired of people who claim that players don’t deserve to be MVPs if they don’t deliver in the playoffs. IF that’s your argument, then you’ve just discounted the MVP trophies from LeBron James, Dirk Nowitzky, Steve Nash, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan and Allen Iverson in the past 10 years alone. Really, dude?
Btw, Derrick Rose has more playoff wins in 3 years than Chris Paul has in 6. Get your CP3>DRose garbage out of here.
Please go and look at the scores for the Bulls vs Heat game and then come back and slap your self in the face for saying it was not close…..
Totally agree…Chicago’s down fall is the lack of creating shots. Chicago is similar to Dallas. In the fact that Dirk is their main score…but then you throw in Terry, JJ, Chandler, and Marion…they were all scoring. Terry is obviously the one to carry the scoring when its not Dirk….Chicago needs someone that can score like a Terry. (doesnt nec. have to be the same position)
I aggre Rose won that MVP and he deserve it what about LeBron 4-0 sweep bulls at lest put on a great fight. And MVP aways goes to best scorer He is 22 and you need better team to win against 3 players who ceated to get a ring i hope next year will be lower salery cap so that they don’t get another chanse. I never saw somethin so unfair in my life + they will always be called losers even if they win 4 rings.
this dudes a joke, you do realize Dirk is 7 feet tall and can shoot over 2-3 guys at a time. D Rose is 6-3, actually 6-2, maybe even 6-1 and had a 6-9 monster athletic freak of nature guarding him. Have you ever played basketball? what D Rose did for the Bulls was unbelievable, been a Bulls fan all my life watched all the Jordan years and for the last 3 years have been watching D Rose continue to grow as a player while Lebron James only seems to go backwards. D Rose is 22 years old and doesnt care what people think of him unlike Lebron ” King of nothing” James. Lebron may be the better basketball player but he sure doesnt work as hard or care about winning as a team more than D Rose. He shoots as much as he does because he has to for his TEAM to win, when Lebron’s TEAM needed him he was nowehere to be found when it mattered most. At least D Rose went down fighting, Lebron went out whining as usual.
I guess everybody forgot then. Lemme remind y’all
Rose was crowned MVP DURING the REGULAR SEASON coz:
-he brought his team to 62-20 from being projected about 45 winds b4 it all started. he’s a young leader
-the Heat-Bulls matchup DURIN the regular season was 3-0, Bulls
-LeBron, the other guy, does not deserve the MVP award one bit after his Decision (for more details, ask Charles Barkley)
-he’s got somethin Kobe and LeBron doesn’t, a humble character (he gets jumped on by a whole team and no foul, he doesnt complain, Kobe gets touched, he sceams like a girl to an official)
-he DRASTICALLY improved in his 3 yr span (in almost every statistic, and leadership skills)
-STATS DONT MATTER, especially FG% when a 6’3 is trapped like no one else in NBA history is compared to a linebacker sized gorilla who is AVOIDED by defenders
-and lastly, coz everybody sadly didn’t believe in Dirk (after all those 1st round exits)
So that’s why there are 2 MVP awards folks, one for the regular season, one for those who succeed in the end.
Both guys deserved their Michael Podoloff trophies this season.
lolakers ur crazy dude rose had no other help that series against miami. there is a reason the bulls had the best record at 62-20 and that reason is derrick rose. the team would be lucky to win 35 games without him. dirk had way more help against miami especially jason terry and deshawn stevenson. so next time u write a bogus post please think it through before u diss the MVP.
You’re criticizing D-Rose’s field goal percentage and you’re a Lakers fan? Doesn’t that mean that you’ve been cheering for Kobe Bryant for the past 15 years?
I’m not an LA Losers fan! Why does everyone make that same mistake? LOLakers means LOL Lakers as in the Lakers are a joke! I’m a Heat fan through and through!
LMAO – A Heat fan picking on the Defending Champs, and the League MVP. Sorry kid, better luck next year. Until then, keep on enjoying your joy ride around South Beach on Baby Bronbron’s jock.
lollakers, obviously you know nothing about basketball and your just blogging, if Micheal jordan had carlos looser on him team he would loose too. He was definitely the mvp of the regular season, If you dont like him because of charecter flaws i understand, but to hate on his game, you dont know the game, and probably cant play or never played, dont be a moron.
WRONG…if MJ had Boozer…he would have carried him to 6 rings too, just like MJ carried everyone INCLUDING PIPPEN.
(dont get me wrong, MJ still needed the Pipster).
And also…its EASY to stick a Lebron on a DRose. Same speed. Same athleticism…except Rose gives up amost 10 inches in height and i dont know how much length in wing span.
Thats a no brainer….that if u shut down Rose, u shut down the Bulls.
Heat still does not beat the Knicks if they were all healthy…thats the funniest part. Lebron and the CRYami cHEAT woudl have been gone in the first round! hahaha.
If Boston held onto Perkins, and Wade isnt a dirty fkcker, dragging Rondo down with him to almost break his left arm…Miami does not beat Boston either.
They really only did well against the 76s….and thats the funny thing.
Yeah his fg % numbers were low but that’s because he barely had any scoring help from his teammates. If you didn’t notice game 1 the bulls dominated because the heat weren’t applying tons of pressure specifically to Derrick Rose. Without all of the double teams he tore them up. For the rest of the series the heat learned their lesson and doubled Derrick Rose and put on tons of defensive pressure constantly, and when he couldn’t rely on his teammates to score he often had to take really bad shots which is why his fg % is low. Yeah other stars have high % but that’s because they can take easier shots when they have more offensively skilled teammates. Lebron has Wade and Bosh so he doesn’t have to take a difficult shot with the shot clock running down because he has no other options. Dirk was a beast but he also had Jason Terry’s help in the last couple games of the series (which they all won). I’ll admit Derrick Rose played badly in the post-season but he still deserved MVP for leading the Bulls to a nba best record. No star can do it alone, and Derrick Rose didn’t have a consistent partner to help him on the offensive end.
@LOLAKERS the last part of your comment He can’t scor at will like Wade? Did Wade score at will? If I remember Wade had 2 TO’s in game 6 a few days ago. Rose didn’t have help scoring. Boozer is a Loser who’s soft like Bosh. The Bulls were missing a scorer and the Mavs would’ve beat them if they did go to the finals just like they beat Miami. Dirk has Jason Terry and a few others that can score. Rose had to take shots with doubles being thrown his way all series. @marq123 Rose is the youngest MVP ever so your hating comment just explain it your on suicide watch with Lechoke/Leflop or choke artist of the decade. How did rose choke he don’t have a Wade or Bosh playing with him. The Bulls will be better than Miami next season and Rose will be getting better while Lechoke will continue to lose a step and hair.@Fail you actually watched the ECF. After game 1 Miami made adjustments and I thought ATL would do that but they didn’t. Stop Rose cause he’s the only threat then the rest of the team will struggle without him breaking down the D.
Not that I don’t agree that Rose is the deserving MVP… he most the most vital piece of the most elite team respectively, at times doing it with no Noah on the court or Boozer, still ending with that record… he’s beastly… the only MVP in June that matters, is the Finals MVP. (DIRK) which brings me to my issue… your sorely mistaken about Rose and Lebron’s situation in relation to that of Nowitzki. Dirk is one of the top 25 scorers of all time, and that’s as a resident jump shooter. He is a shot maker, 99% of his shots seem like shots you take in bad situations, lol… he just has one of the purest and unstoppable jumpshots that have ever been seen in the sport…. Terry’s good tho of course. just sayin… You don’t stop Dirk, it’s either make or miss… his FG% is gonna be what it’s gonna be …that’s one of the 5 40-50-90 guys… and the tallest one at that.
lol..that’s why they call it season MVP…the best among the season not a playoffs MVP…
You guys are all being too hard on the poor guy. He’s only 22! This was his 3rd NBA season! And now you guys are going to start criticizing him because he “choked up” under all the pressure??? OF COURSE HE WILL!!!!! You’re all a bunch of fools. To go from consecutive first-round exits to conference finals is a big step, especially for a young player and a YOUNG TEAM. It’s not his fault. The BULLS together fell apart because of new people and inexperience and, I think we all should realize by now, they have a 22-year-old POINT GUARD who’s running all of the offense. So all of you D-Rose haters can shut the hell up.
Dirk didnt beat the Heat by himself, He had alot of help from Terry, J.J. and Chandler. Rose had a little healp from Deng but that was it, Noah nor Bozer showed up. CP3 is good too but what did he do that Rose couldnt? Loose in the first round. Rose carried the bulls to 62 wins almost by himself, hell the Lakers couldnt even win 62 games with a better team then the bulls.
HM LA plays only for the final + Kobe was injured, Bynum too but i like Rose becouse he is not arogant and Kobe also won MVP against the best players in the world. He surpased Jordan a long time ago.
@LOLakers….You’re not a true fan if you think Derrick Rose is a joke. Dirk shooting over the Heat defense means nothing, the guy is 7ft tall where as Rose is only 6’3″, so it makes a difference. Derrick Rose carried Chicago to the best record in the league all by himself, no superstar help or two others to complete his BIG THREE. With all the hype, Miami should have dominated the league, and Chris Paul is a great player, but he has never gotten the Hornets to the position Derrick Rose has put the Bulls in, which is one superstar away from a championship, and that’s why Paul wants out of New Orleans, because he CAN’T do what Derrick Rose did. As for the Heat, good team, but LeBron is a JOKE, and all the comparisons to MJ are even bigger jokes. MJ willed his teams to win. 6-0 in the Finals for MJ, your boy LeBron, 0-2. You need to re-examine this game and your stance on it, because you sound like a fool!!!
LOLLakers
Should I say “LOLGlobetrotters”. Your team the “Miami Globetrotters”. It is just Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls against the shortcut “Supreme Team”. This just means people don’t like your team. There’s nothing to be proud about your team. They are all bunch of cowards who cannot carry their own team at the very end. Derrick Rose just started and made “the season MVP”. Because all that matters in the game of cagers is hardwork. Not shortcuts. Imagine 3superstars against a point guard.. LOL. Theres no explanation needed on that. But come to think of it.. he still bring the bulls on the top seat. It is just quality players and a superstar against an All Star cast(actresses). I bet Riley already ordered championship rings for Miami Globetrotters before the season just started. LOL for you guys! Cheers!
the thing is, teams trapped him on nearly every possesion in the playoofs. And with no other scorer to hold the ball so that he doesnt have to have it all the time. Wade and lebron scored so easy because they have someone else to hold the ball if and when they are trapped. Dirk scored so easy because jason terry to move the ball, jason barea to move the ball, and hall of famer jason kidd to move the ball. That is how dirk was able to do it. Besides Lebron is a lock down defender that is nearly twice derrick rose’s size!!! and just as fast. So you gotta understand why his FG% was so low, defenses were focused on him and him only. Im a bulls fan and yes, it was hard to watch. But I knew the BULLS would lose if rose couldnt score on lebron consistently. If we had another ball handler that could shoot and defend then we would have won.
then lebron was a fake mvp as well. the last two years he really was a colossal joke! especially how he just gave up in the boston series haha your a joke.
LOLakers, you’re an idiot. How many times did Rose’s teammates throw the ball to him with 4 seconds on the shot clock, because no one but Derrick Rose can create their own shot for themselves. Boozer, the prized free agent, was awful to say the least. Stacey King would’ve been better than him. The fact is the Bulls need another player to be able to penetrate into defenses. There were a number of plays where Rose led his teammates to wide open shots, and they could not convert.
Lol Lakers you are either trying to just stir up an argument or u really have no Idea what you are watching when the game is on. First things first….The answer to the obvious question is YES Im a lebron HATER after he left his home town, Loyalty is the first thing champions learn and Lebron is still taking baby steps. hes an amazing athlete with no character.
Since Blogging is your strong suit, I wont cut this short.
Derrick Rose was by far the best candidate for MVP and anyone who understands basketball, and who has watched him play, would vote for him over baby bron bron any day. (History speaks). I agree he didnt play well agains the heat, (in the playoffs) but Lebron being a good player doesnt make him MVP. You are just bitter that ur boys recently lost, dont worry u can cry with ur team for a few weeks.
The skills Rose brings to the NBA are amazing to watch (Even your superstar lebron liked to take a few plays off and watch him do his job) and he took his team to the top, 60 wins. Thats why he won MVP. Since you obviously dont know how that works ill tell you. The person who wins Season MVP is the most valuable player, to their TEAM, throughout the entire REGULAR season. The person who has the biggest impact on their team from last year to this year wins 100% of the time. Hands down it is Rose this year. just look at his stats for regular season….seriously, wats ur real argument. not liking him is not an answer. and dnt throw out FG% garbage anymore you sound like an idiot.
Your nothing but a joke if you think lebron did more for your team then wade. Wade is your man (Also a chicago guy if I might add) and he should be your leader. (if he was healthy he would have been) Lebron is your scapegoat for when you lose, accept it. Just like when we swept your heat in the regular season. Just watch sportscenter, lebron will b blamed for everything. As for Bosh, Ill give him credit he stepped up for the playoff series with the bulls but what about the rest of the season? Mediocre at best. You guys got us this year in the conference finals, Were not discouraged like you south beach cowards, we have a young, tough and humble superstar…Chicago will stand tall..you better hope Rose doesnt get more support in the offseason or you are going to be sad in south beach for years to come. Hopefully for all the years your king is playing.
and next time you talk about superstars who score without help, dont mention Dirk n the MAVS. You just embarress yourself by not crediting the support he has around him..Dudes a stud no question but look at what happened in the finals and who stepped up for the MAVS.
Give credit where its due or everyone is gonna see u for wat u r…ignorant and inexperienced with sports.
Inexperienced is not the word for this loser, he knows nothing about basketball. I am a BULLS FANATIC all the way, but I like Wade, and he is their leader. He is the one they surround before tip-off, not Lebron. Wade averaged almost 30ppg in the finals, where was LeBron? Anyone who knows basketball knows LeBron is soft, and that’s why he ran to south beach. He is quite an athlete, but that does not translate to a winner or a leader, so I’m all on board with you…LOLakers is an idiot!
@Jball17 Your comment is a goodlook. I don’t know who, in their right mind, would choose Chris Paul over D-Rose. I mean, Rose has his flaws but the notion that CP-3 is better than him is, utterly, ridiculous.
WOW i cant believe u just said that! first of all Derrick Rose is only 22, u’re comparing him to people who have been in the league for over 5 years and have seen it all, this was only his 3rd year and experience is the greatest teacher so he is only going to get better. Second of all, Derrick led his team, SINGLE-HANDEDLY, to 60+ wins during the season, lets not forget that the MVP award is for during the season play not post-season play. Yea he didnt do as well in the miami series as expected but he was forced to carry his team on his back after only a fraction of his team decided they were going to play. I understand u have a right to ur own opinion but u cannot fight facts based on ur personal beliefs about derrick rose. He DESERVED the MVP this season hands down!
LOLakers
Leave the drugs alone man
d rose attracts most of the defensive attention because he’s really their main star and teams game plan specifically to stop him as apposed to the heat where u have those 3 big superstars to spread the attention around because they are all dangerous scorers and by the way they still didnt play that amazing in the chicago series d wade shooting the worst and lebron put up big numbers in only a couple games but was able to close out at the end of games which rose has been doing all season and lebron was criticized for all year. by the way lets not forget derrick tweak that ankle a couple times durring the playoffs. look, derrick is a 3rd year player with little playoff experience. real young and if u look at his numbers has improved on pretty much every statistic each year he’s been in the league. Led his team to the best regular season record in the nba virtually on his own because he would not allow the bulls to lose. i mean i’d say that’s pretty sufficient for an MVP award mayne… and look to the 2011-12 season for him to have an even bigger year cuz that kid is a motivated hard worker… rose definitely deserving, my man.
I guess everybody forgot then. Lemme remind y’all
Rose was crowned MVP DURING the REGULAR SEASON coz:
-he brought his team to 62-20 from being projected about 45 winds b4 it all started. he’s a young leader
-the Heat-Bulls matchup DURIN the regular season was 3-0, Bulls

So that’s why there are 2 MVP awards folks, one for the regular season, one for those who succeed in the end.
Both guys deserved their Michael Podoloff trophies this season.
derrick rose deseves the MVP he single handedly took the bulls to the eastern confrence finals.
noone else but d. rose deserves the MVP and if anything, chicago-miami series proved it – chicago had no offense, no plays no nothing they just had rose. and its obviously not enough win champs but it was enough to place them as the first seed in east and get to eastern finals. this young point guard carried the team on his shoulders throughout the season – M.V.P. ALL DAY
Did he go to the NBA Finals though, if no not the MVP you thought he was now is he.
Did Lechoke go the last 2 years he was MVP?? Stop Hating cause D Rose will be better next year and Lebron will still be a choker that can only dunk on a fast break. No Post Moves, No Killer instinct, No Heart, No ring some king. LMAO I’m not a Kobe fan but I admit he’s the best of this era. Lebron can’t even play when the pressure is at it’s highest. Miami this season had a good run but it was not good enough to beat a complete team. @marq123 your on suicide watch with Lebron
The Celtics-Knicks series belongs in that bracket. It was incredibly hyped but for the most part a serious letdown.
thats true but it couldve been a lot different if stoudmeire and billups were healthy
just like if gasol wasn’t a weak overrated player the 2time defending NBA champions would not have been swept. O im sorry i mispelled swept its spelled K-O-B-E!!! and overrated is mispelled too its spelled L-A-K-E-R-S.
@Speaking of over-rated: You’re totally right. Everyone thought that was the series that could go to 7 games and the Knicks had a chance for an upset. I knew all along it was a joke. It’s a new team, they struggled at the end of the season and none of them were in sync with one another.
chris paul is dead buddy, rose deserved it 100%
dead like D-roses championship dreams wait D-rose isn’t smart enough to have dreams.
smart enough? what’s that supposed to infer? using outdated, unwarranted stereotypes won’t win arguments
Did you see the game when Rose and Paul played against each other Rose tore him another Booty
agree with Speaking of over-rated
i hate to admit it but that Bos Vs NY was overrated series
i hope my knicks bounce back next year
I like you Zar. You’re a loyal fan, but you aren’t delusional and you have a pretty good opinion on most things.
Lolakers is right. rose is overrated
look at this clip LBJ Vs DRose
LBJ show the noob (d rose) how real superstars work in NBA
if you can’t act in NBA drama, you can’t be star like LBJ
rose is overrated he got nothing on LBJ. LBJ is way better than rose
in “ACTING”
……You might be the most uneducated in NBA basketball. Flopping is what ruins the game especially in the playoffs; it’s right to be a fake like Le”Bad Acting”???
lebrons such a fruitcake hahaha
LOLakers, your dumb*** should have more consideration for D-Rose’s efforts. Those are skills you’ll never have. Your heat lost. DEAL WITH IT!!!
Gosh Fran Blinebury going off like that again…
most so called experts like him said all along that LAL would 3 peat…etc etc
and now he calls it overrated? who made it overrated…
jeez…sometimes viewer comments are more intelligent..
Sure the Magic bombed out, but it’s hard to say Dwight Howard flamed out in the playoffs… the guy averaged 27 pts and 15.5 rebounds
Doesnt matter, Lebron averaged 27, 7, 6 against the Spurs but still lost 4-0. Individual efforts are not the essential matter here. Don’t you read? TEAM FIRST.
But you can’t blame an individual for losing if he does his part and rest of the team doesn’t show up. If it truly is team first, then Dwight shouldn’t be getting blamed for the “flame out” in the first place.
Howard did flame out. Are you going on numbers or actually watching the game? He was invisible when they needed him most, it’s pointless being the top scorer on your team when every play gives you the ball and your team still isn’t winning. I remember one of the early games in the Orlando series, Howard just got the ball every possession, scored Orlando’s record points in a half, but it was so obviously tactically terrible… Atlanta were perfectly happy with that.
What stops Howard from being an MVP is three things. 1) He goes missing when he is needed most. 2) He fouls too much 3) He technical fouls too much. All three add up to the same thing, Dwight Howard does not have the discipline needed to guide a team to a ring, or to be MVP.
There you guys go again, attacking a young player for his woes. In Game 1 of the First round of the playoffs, Howard scored 46 points and added 19 boards…..what more do you want him to do? It’s not the Wilt Chamberlain age anymore when your best player scores 100 points. Only one other person scored in double figures — that was Jameer Nelson with 27 points. So is it really Howard’s fault? I think not.
@ben: 1) if one of his teammates could make a wide open 3 they would have beaten the hawks. hedo, j-rich and j.j were all below 35%. dwight did ALL he could do. 2) he fouls too much because his perimeter guys can’t stop any penetration! 3) he tech fouls because he gets smashed by big guys every minute of the whole game, you tell me straight up that you wouldn’t get frustrated at all. keep in mind they will call a tech if you only a tiny bit of emotion.
I WATCHED game one of the finals, thats the game I’m talking about. Howards numbers might be dominant, but he was a bust. He takes a negative attitude to playing the game, he doesn’t get his teammates involved – and on both counts he failed in that very game. You can defend him all you like but I am telling you, Howard will never win a ring as the number one man on his team. Numbers don’t win you a championship or an MVP title – actually being the most valuable does. Intangibles are important.
kiwifan, can you think of any other player that gets called for more technicals in the playoffs? It happens year after year. You can’t blame the refs for that or the rules. If you make a mistake and then keep repeating that same mistake, you are not good enough.
I’m not even a Howard hater or anything. He is a great player and I love watching him play – but his negative play and ill discpline is to my mind ‘flaming out’ regardless of his numbers.
Before the game started I said to dad ‘watch Howard – he’ll put up big numbers, dominate the game, won’t control his fouls, somewhere he will get a technical foul, which means if his team gets deep in the playoffs he has enough to get suspended for a game, his ill discipline might not cost Orlando the game but ultimately what you see will cost them the season’ as he was not a basketball officianado. As we watched the game, Howard played out exactly as I said – and did cost them the game. What more could he do? Score LESS! Thats what more he could do. Play as a team.
The most over-discussed storyline was Lebron and the Miami Heat. I’ll say that much.
who went to the finals this year and who didn’t!?!
D Rose deserved the MVP award. You have 3 stars on a team and they can’t even get top seed? You’re defendin champs and you got swept??? D Rose took the bulls to the eastern conference finals, by himself
Thank you! The only other two people who were up for it in my opinion were Dwight Howard and Dirk Nowitzki because of what happened to their team when they were in absence.
@LoLakers……. so youre saying that in order for derrick rose to actually be a superstar he has to learn to do punk moves and flop? he has to fake getting fouled instead of really playing and having some pride in himself and respect for the game? Yeah LBJ show him how to be a REAL superstar HAHAHAHAHA once derrick rose starts acting like a straight B*TCH then he will be a better player… :/ “stale face”. that will probably increase his shooting percentage
lolakers stop being a hater girl go di** ride some where else m.f.
Derick Rose by far the most-overrated hyped player in this league, no way he should’ve got MVP
Yes, just watch him carve up your teams defense for the next 15 years, hater
who should of got it?
GO LAKERS!!!!!
Just wait you judgemental fellas. Even Michael Jordan struggled on his few years to get the ring it lasted him 7 years to win the crown. even the greatest player needs some time for greatness. Didnt realize that?crap
i agree, love kobe, best closer in the league, lebron, great defender and very good offensively, flash, i think is underrated, howard, not discipline enough, but is a beast, but mr. derrick rose only been in league 3yrs, should have gotten the most improved player award, 62 wins and look who had to play against, wade, 2 time mvp lebron, and bosh aint no punk. for those haters of d-rose, you dont no the game of basketball
why are people still questioning D-Rose’s season MVP award?
the man was great in the regular season he single-handedly carried the bulls to the top seed so he DESERVED IT…
and people should understand it’s Regular Season MVP it doesn’t include performances in the post season and there’s a BIG DIFFERENCE between season games and playoffs series…
in regular season defense is not so focused and highly set up for an individual offensive act (like rose) unlike in the playoffs where you battle the same team (i.e miami with 3 stars and a tight defense) in multiple games for two weeks…
that period of time is more than enough to figure out how to slow down an individual act…
I’m a heat fan and a Wade fan but i’m not stupid to not give D-Rose credits…
I am a die- hard Bulls fan and I really have no problem with the Heat, just Lebron’s decission and the pre-season championship parade. I really respect people who understand Basketball, and you are one of them.
Well said HeatWade
Give the guy a break, Rose is definitely the MVP in the regular season. And when you say “regular season” it does not include the playoffs nor the finals. If there is such award as “playoffs MVP”, lebron may have made his case to win such award. Sadly the “V” in MVP is measured based on games played in the regular season and to my mind Rose deserved the award. Furthermore it is an individual and not a team award. So the bulls losing (note: in the conference finals and not a first round exit) could not be said to raise doubts as to rose’s worthiness. Get real, give him the credit he deserves for crying out out!
OH AND DIRK IS LIKE 7 FEET TALL…LOLAKERS…ROSE IS 6FT 3 IN…THAT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE WHEN GETTING OFF SHOTS…MAVS DOMINATED THE HEAT MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY…3 SUPERSTAR HEAT TEAM BARELY BEAT A ONE SUPERSTAR TEAM IN THE BULLS…GO LISTEN TO BARKLEY HE KNOWS WAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT…HEAT FANS SUCK!!! LOL @LOLLAKERS
Birds of the same feathers …
LOLLAKERS (and many of the heat fans) is just like Lechoke… all they can do is talk smack with nothing to back. If i had a ugly son i be quiet going out criticing other pples son. Calling Rose a flop when you have Lechoke? You guys got the KING, (of choker land)
Well if Rose didn’t deserve his season MVP award only because he couldn’t make the Bulls beat the Heat this year, then LeBron didn’t deserve any of his two awards either because he couldn’t make the Cavs beat the Magic and the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals the previous two seasons.
I’m sorry, LeBron couldn’t get to the Eastern Conference Finals last year because he lost in the second round to Boston
I see stupid people here criticizing rose.What people forget is that the Chicago Bulls weren’t built to win the finals this year.They were built to get better and thats it.They over-achieved this season.The reason why rose is the mvp is because he carried this bulls team through out the season with Noah and Boozer injured.Who else would you have as your mvp? A 60 plus season for the bulls.What more is the criteria for being mvp? He is the most valuable player on a team that had a 60 plus season and the best record in the NBA.He is the engine of the team with the best record in the NBA.
I hate it when people who don’t even watch the bulls games criticize someone like rose.He’s the best point guard in the league today.
he might be the best scoring pointguard be hest not the best, cp3 and dwill are still better, they got a all around game, but theres no dought he deserved that mvp.
If ppl are going to call D Rose a fake MVP… then Lebron was a fake one 2 years in a row as well cause he also choked the 2 years he got it. Steve Aschburner’s post in the article says it best. And if you still want to argue about it, then your just being a dense fanboy.
I agree 100% rose is the MVP of the league, last year the bulls were a 500 team this year over 60 wins. yes he had the leagues best defense but on offense he is only one on his that team that create his own shot, he is the unqestioned leader of the team. take him off the bulls and they are an 8th seed not the team with the best record.
D.Rose didnt deserve the MVP status?
Yeah right, you forgot about the REGULAR SEASON. Playoffs is a different story.
That’s why their is TWO MVPs.
MVP is something that make your team and your teammates make and feel better. None of which your telling were THE closest (except Dirk) even the self proclaim ‘King’ and his comp doesn’t have that.
If you didn’t know before the playoffs that the Bulls had NO CHANCE of getting to the Finals, I don’t know what do you know about NBA, or basketball for that matter…
Besides that, Rose had an outstanding season, totally deserving of a MVP award…
Rose is a deserving MVP this season. Just to carry his Bulls all through out with all the injuries involve and manage to have the best record still, unbelievable.. (and im not a bulls fan either but i give them props) but i say Dirk should have been 1st team all nba also.. Z-bo and Aldridge should have been all-stars
lakers = oveerrr rated
)
where is your three-peat?
)
lol wheres their three-peat? i dont think u realize that to get there they’ve won the last two championships. where was ur team then?
Where is your 1 peat ??????? The Pre Season Parade don’t count
LMAO @AND???
haha you wish you could even 1 peat haha
drose deserved every bit of the mvp award… he grinded, he pushed his team beyond last yrs records and then some,. if yall really hatin on rose yall need to get off his meat with that.. lebron is a choker.. how many times has he gotten to the playoffs and frauded somehow in the series?? oh yea, last yr it was cuz west was up in his moms, the yr before that what was the excuse?? and now after all the trash talkin him and wade was talkin, dissin dirk and all that. when he loses yall treatin him like a hero. lol i wish i understood some of yall basketball fans. cuz it seems like yall bandwagon a lil too much to be called a true fan.
D Rose was in the same position this year that Lebron was in Cleveland ( MVP, on the team favored to win it all, with minimal help). I think with the Heat’s collapse in the Finals and Rose’s exit, it just proves that this is still a team game. Rose deserved MVP, but did people honestly think that Bulls team was going all the way?
D.Rose deserve it!!! I mean, losing in playoff don’t mean he’s not the MVP this season. look at the past 20years, and tell me how many players win the mvp of the season AND win the finals… were they all overrated???
so i want to be tag team D-Rose and Lebron on next Season for being Good Team mate and Get The Goal our TEAM
LOLakers, for how long have you been a Heat fan? July 2010?
Lakers didn’t win this year, but LeBron hasn’t won a ring in seven years.. Heat were a good (great) defensive team, they’ve made good adjustments and they will be better next year, but isn’t it normal that Rose came up short against 3 (well, make it 2,5) stars? When he’d have some consistent play from Boozer or Noah, the Bulls could’ve easily won the series. Heat came up short against the Mavs because they didn’t play like a team. At least young superstars like Durant and Rose understand what it’s all about. LeBron? He’s just about the media-attention, the so-called “King”. I will respect him the moment he wins a championship. For now on, he stays a loser (literally).
Rose deserved his MVP title. Carried the Bulls all by himself to the NBA’s best record, what else do you want? When Magic were top-seeded, maybe Dwight would’ve won it. But they were not. It’s allll about the team man. Time for Miami to understand that.
2.5?
you mean WADE+BOSH=2 then lebron=.5 right?
just to clarify, im talking about the finals.
Im the biggest laker fan! and lollakers is still and idiot!!!!
its funny how everyone is bashing at rose considering he carried the team to the east finals on his 3rd year. He will only get better and learn from this defeat against the heat. Unlike Lechoke.. lol how many times did he chocked in the playoffs? He doesnt have excuses bcuz he got wade and bosh. At least Rose admits his mistakes and vows to get better..Lebron is a failure! MVP trophies dun mean anything.. its how u progress as a player and trust me Rose will only get better.. better than Lebron.
ps. @LOLakers
didnt you know NBA stopped selling Lebron’s jersey becuz apperently its a CHOCKING hazard AHAHAHAHA what a loser really..
Rose deserved the MVP crown for the regular season. You can’t say that he didn’t deserve it because of the way he played in the playoffs. He single-handedly carried his team to the top seed of the conference for crying out loud. There’s a big difference between the regular season and the playoffs. That’s why there are two MVP awards. One for the best performance in the regular season and on for the Finals. How dumb can people get. I’m a Heat fan and all, but you gotta give respect for the way D Rose played in the regular season.
I can’t believe because Rose apparently had a bad performancwe in the post season, suddenly everyone thinks he doesn’t deserve the season MVP. He’s carried his whole team, and yeah he made mistakes but he’s only 22 and it was his 3rd year in the NBA. He has a lot to learn and he’s inexpierienced along with the rest of the Bulls. Not to mention Noah was still recovering from that thumb injury as at the beginning of the season before he got injured, he was a shoo-in for All-Star status. Luol could be the second scorer, he just doesn’t shoot as much, so Rose, Chicago’s closer, most consistent player, top scorer, and as we all know lead the Bulls to a 62-20 record to finish 1st overall in the league and not to mention Noah was out, Boozer was out, and sometimes at the same time they were out, deserves the MVP award. You can’t judge who deserves MVP because of their performance in the Post season.
Take any other team that if the star of another team would they win as much. Dirk w/o Terry, they would lose, I respect them but without Terry would Dallas have beat the Heat? And if you take out 2 stars, Terry and J.J Barea, they would not be as good, they woul be average. Alright now take Lebron, or Wade doesn’t matter, if one of them were injured, they would lose, not often but yeah, they would. Almost everytime Lebron has played without Wade Miami loses, almost everytime Wade played without Lebron, they lost. They’re very good in the league and your telling me that they can;t carry their team without their 2nd scorer for a couple games, and the games aren’t consectively? Rose Deserves it, Obviously because he lost Noah and Boozer and consistently won.
Rose definitely deserved the MVP. He didn’t “show up” in the Playoffs against the Heat, but the exact same thing happened with Lebron. I’m not a fan of any of these teams, but I gotta say that Rose was the League MVP, and the Mavs definitely showed the Heat up.
About D-Rose and his ‘weak’ teammates:
Come on folks… many are writing Derrick was the only offense option for his team in the playoffs, deserves being regular season mvp, etc.
In my eyes, he’s one of around 5 players that played mvp ball this year. But I don’t wanna open a new mvp debate. I am focussing on the quality of his teammates. There are Joakim Noah, Carlos Boozer, Luol Deng, Ronnie Brewer. Plus Taj Gibson, Kyle Korver, CJ Watson and Keith Bogans. Except Bogans all of them (7 ballers) could be starters in many NBA teams. Noah, Boozer and Deng are All star caliber. This is a weak roster? I don’t think so. In my eyes, it’s the third best roster in the league. Only behind LA and Portland (yeah Portland. Look at the roster. Without the big injuries they would be an amazing team).
Derrick needs to improve on the defensive end (STEALS!!!) and his shooting percentage. Afterwards he can be named in a sentence beginning ‘These are the best ballers in the world right now…
C ya
Mel
Miami had had a pretty good roster as well my friend. I agree with you though, Im not buying the “D-Rose had no teammates” idea. Dwight Howard should have got MVP, did you see how terrible their roster is bar Howard?
Ok first of all anyone who says Derrick rose is overated is just dumb and sounds like a hater. How many 20+ points games did he have for the playoffs. It’s his 3rd season in the leauge and he brought a team that was eliminated first round the year before, all the way to the conference finals and first in the east with 62-20 record. The heat series, i wouldn’t really call that a choke, D.rose and Deng showed up. His team didn’t. I don’t know how people can compare Bulls and maimi, look how much offensive firepower and atheltic players that have over bulls. if bulls had an all around SG that can put the ball on the floor and get to the basket and not only shoot. I think the series would of went the other way.
Kobe is overratted…never will compare to MJ. Lakers will rebuild around….gulp…GASOL!!! LOL!!!!!!! Don’t squeeze the charmin!!!
Not here to rip DRose and the bulls, the guy was spectacular along with his team indeed, but kinda reminded me of LeBron in the Cleveland era: amazing in the season and against non-championship teams (in comparison, bulls won against pacers and hawks, found miami a real problem; cleveland 08-09 easily got to the conference finals, but couldn’t finish the job against magics 08-09). But I saw the same mistake the media was saying that they can get to the finals, much like when they were praising Cavs back then to get to the finals. Difference is, most of DRose teammates are yet to get better with some well defined team mates, Cavs never really had such talents.
I think D rose is outstanding, he will continue to get better. The problem is he will never win a championship as long as Boozer plays for the Bulls! Boozer is about as much help in the playoffs as LeBron was in the 4th quarter of the finals.
I don’t know what you guys are talking about with the LBJ and D-Rose trash, Rondo should have been MVP this year. I would have him over LeBron and D-Rose any day!
obvious ur a celtics fan, but also an idiot for making that comment, everyone ignore celticsfan
Derrick Rose took the Bulls from 8 seed last year to 1st seed in the playoff with a little help of Deng but the team depends 100% of Rose offense thats why they lose in the conference finals. But this year they are coming stronger learning from their mistake.
i say the bulls have some work to do, however, they can bat miami. but actually im looking more ahead to the finals where they may face very good dallas team, laker, okc or grizzlie team. all the teams i mention r capable of winning it all next year, however, the bulls r one qulity player away from taking it all. so the front office better cross their t’s and dot their i’s if they want the ring next season. peace
wow…..D-Rose is not in the same category as LBJ. The only similarity is that they both won MVP’s and didn’t win the finals. D-Rose’s character is a lot different and he has the ability to work hard to improve his game. Quick question…HOW HAS LEBRON JAMES’ GAME CHANGED SINCE HE GOT IN THE LEAGUE?……..I rest my case.
well said,
any and everyone have to the right to critice D Rose, except LOLakers and LBJ fans. LBJ is ranking high in the league of greatest flop of all time.
besides, those who question whether D Rose derseves regular season MVP by citing his post season performance is an dumb nut. Period. Its like a complaining about after marriage performance with pre marriage performance, dudes, its two different story.. Rose aint ready to be “wed” but as a young lover, his the MAN. Every one needs time to get ready.
Don’t ever ask LeBron James to break a dollar because he’ll just give you 75 cents. He just refuses to give you the 4th quarter. LOL.
D Rose is only 22….
I truly think Derrick Rose really deserved the MVP he Led the Bulls to the Best Record of the League and about the Heat loosing on the Finals I was just shocked but oh well they gotta get more mature and less confidence and make some arrangements Hopefully next year but idk we will see when they come! Michael Jordan will always be the Best Player NBA has ever seen so no matter no one can ever be as good he can! Bye
Dwight was robbed of MVP this year…
Responding to the earlier comment about D. Rose being the fake MVP – You got a short term memory and severe lack of comprehension. The title of the awards say SEASON MVP! Season!!! D. Rose was evaluated for his performance during the SEASON, with all of his obstacles that he had to endure, with all of the injuries and yet the Bulls kept winning and finished the season with the best record. On the other hand, Lebron James with his other two super star team mates??? I know I don’t need to say anymore, right? After all, Lebron James once again choked on the biggest of all basketball stages. He couldn’t win it the top dog in Cleveland and after jumping ship to join forces with Bosh and D-Wade. Got me shaking my damn head!!!
Hes still looking for one wont happen for while…..lol
Why is there a Finals MVP, a regular season MVP, a Defensive Player of the Year Award, and yet no Offensive Player Award?? The NBA is by far the most nonsensical sport out of the biggest sports of this country.
man, you’re too demanding. just watch WWE. youre like a kid looking for a championship division for everyone.
I think you should also consider having the choke player of the year and it’d be lebron all the way who would win that award.
And all of these people STILL hating on Lebron James seriously need to reevaluate their life. Because its getting old, overblown, and unnecessary. Leave the guy alone. You people act as if he murdered someone. All of this hate stems from one place: PURE EVIL
Bulls all day!…. Oh, and I just want to say LOLAKERS is wack. He shouldn’t claim he watches basketball. Just another clueless blind Lebron butt buddy on a blog….
Offensive player of da year!? thats duuuuuuuuuuuuuumb, so many people in the NBA can score the ball, DUUUUUUUUUH. Defence is obviously the most crucial element in any teams success! DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH! So why would there be an offensive player of the year when any guy on any given night can explode for a huge amount of points! DUMB! DUMB! DUMB! UUUUUUUUUUHHHHH DDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRR
Rose was a deserving MVP. He is not the best player in the league. But he was a deserving MVP. I think LeBron James was also a deserving MVP this year. Anyways, what I think everyone could agree on is that Rose’s post-game interviews were boring like crazy. MVP’s shouldn’t be so boring!! At least Wade-James interviews were always had always a potential of being source of debate afterwards.
Unfortunately for the readers here, not only does Sekou Smith have it wrong, but so do many ignorant trolls, erm, I mean FANS. Derrick Rose earned and won the MVP for the REGULAR SEASON. It has nothing to do with the playoffs. Rose crushed Miami 3 games to nil in the regular season, not to mention his monster game against Boston at the end of the regular season. The MVP award is given out at the start of the playoffs because it has NOTHING TO DO WITH POST SEASON PLAY. Miami bandwagoners and Chi haters can scream and stomp their feet all they want. Rose = MVP, Lebron = the Houdini of the finals who vanished and LOST. Deal with it.
-idontreadreplies-
to drose and bron fans. drose fg percent was low because he just can not shoot the ball.until drose find a jumper his fg per will always be low. and about bron he is simply not a killer.point blank.either u born a killer or not.and the mike comparison….ridic and so disrespectful.he average 3pts the 4th quater of the finals and barely 17pts a game.bosh avg more.since when mike and kobe ever been the 3rd leading scorer on their championship team avg 3pts in the 4th??….exactly,never.until bron win at least 3ships he should not be in the same conversation as mike or kobe.that is why they play right?
Dwyane Wade is the best player in the NBA. when will the world wake up and realize that?
Best offensive player in the league and top 5 defensive. he is hands down the 2nd best defensive two guard ever…
lebron james gets hate out of his own action, he says hes not superior to anyone yet he calls himself the “king” haha and decides to have his own tv special to anounce to the whole world that hes leaving to miami.
The idea that Rose should not have been MVP is crazy what player did more for his team in the regular season, and from my understanding thats what the MVP is for regular season. If some of you had watch the games rather than the ESPN high lites than you could understand how Rose was guarded against the Heat, which whole defesne was geared to stop him. The Heat indicated that they were going to guard Berea the same way they did Rose please I dont recall one time they double teamed Berea and I can say without a doublt that Rose was doubled the entire Heat series in every game. If the heat had guarded Rose with one man and that includes Bron he would have toasted him and please dont even try to say Bron did guard him one on one kust watch the games he had help all the time/ Rose MVP and it wont be the last
ROSE is the MVP because he is the reason why the chicago were the number 1 seed at the playoffs.
and yes, they lost agaisnt the cHEAT. but atleast he didnt need a D.WADE and a C.BOSH to get a team
to the playoffs like the king of choke lebron did. the heat had 3 superstars and yet the finished at the number 2 seed.
D.Rose alone carried his team to be at the number 1. can you imagine the bulls if they added 1 more star to help rose. I think theyre gonna be a contender if not a better team than miami even if they have the big 2 and a half.
btw, look at the dallas, they only have dirk vs the 3 stars of miami.let me ask you what happened?
the cHEAT together with lebron,wade and bosh choked and lost to dirk and his team. just like dirk, rose needs more experience and its not long till he gets used to being a primary leade of the bulls.
even lebron admits that rose should be MVP. because he knows that rose did what he cannot do, and that is to carry a team on his own.
period!
for all the haters drose is 22 years old and youre comparing him to people that have been in the league for 5 years plus and he’s already killing it as well as youre teams, and if ANYONE choked it was the wana be ghetto superstar lebron james. jealously is a beeotch
you know what lolakers i expect a laker fanto be a hater since yall got swept by the now champs mavs. but you say other superstars did it by themselves? no mj had great players around him that he mad better in order to win a tittle then you say d-rose is a fake wow ok then i guess thats what we all think of the wanna be micheal jordan you know kobe who admited that he coppies 95% of his moves so if you wanna talk about somebody you need to go outside drive or take the bus to staples then look up at the kobe billboard and point your finger at him d-rose was the best during the regular season but he needed help like another shooter thats why we lost just like mj in his first 7 yrs he was able to get guys around him who wanted to win and thats how they were able to become a dynisty!
Sekou Smith proving that he’s a turrible writer and has no idea what he’s talking about on all levels. MVP has nothing to do with the playoffs other than the player in consideration has done enough to give their team a great chance in the playoffs with the regular season record. Other than that, MVP has nothing to do with playoff performance. If it were so, Dirk is the MVP. This is why a finals mvp award exists. And to Sekou Smith, this is me “making it clear”.
It’s mind-blowing LeBron hasn’t developed a post-game. If he were to, he would have won 2-3 titles by now. Like Barkley and many others have said, and from which I’ve noticed, the Heat and especially LeBron refuse to admit their short-comings.
76ers, 49ers, Miami 8ers… Tell what’s your team? Haters!!!!!
No Doubt Rose deserved the MVP for bringing the Bulls on top again,
but who will the Bulls acqiure or who can they get ??
what the hell get over it miami is going to win next year when they have a good center thats the only reason they lost this year.
To everyone who says D. Rose is not the MVP and thinks that just because he didn’t get to the finals thats even more reason he didn’t deserve it, (*blank stare*), please stop it. You really don’t understand the game if that’s the case and it’s ok. Being from Chicago I know what a MVP looks like we’ve had one before and maybe just maybe your upset because your team (Miami) lost in the finals so now you want to pick on the team that you beat before so you can still hold your head up, and that’s ok too. D. Rose led his team to 62 wins oh yeah, only his 4th year in the league and with damn near no help. Found a way to get his team to the Eastern Conference Finals, it was ugly but the bottom line they made it. Then lost to a team that has been glorified all year long and cocky all year long to lose in 6 games in the NBA Finals to a team no one believed would beat them, that alone shows how close he is to winning his first ring, (4 years in), and Lebron is still trying to get his first. The young boy had a great year and it is truly a slap in the face to a true sports fan when people make silly comments on something which they have no idea about…smdh……c’mon fam, everyone just has to relax and think about it, take a second and then please watch…….http://youtu.be/CQ106g_KiKc
Rose deserve to be the MVP….. He is really the BEST player of the season….. But I am still a FAN of Kevin Durant hahahaha….. Maybe if Dwight can go to Chicago, then i think Chicago will have its own dynasty…
yeah,
D Howard is prime jewel to acquire dude. Not achieving what he truely could in orlando, but he be the missing X factor to many teams. Chicago. Lakers, OKC, hell even boston. Personally i rooting for chicago. GO BULLS GO!!!
lebron is the britney spears of the nba hahah
Drose is the best son!
D rose deserve his mvp award
Lebron deserve to lose.
Phil jackson always 3peat bla bla bla
why don’t we all just give LeBron and Rose a break. They are both young, talented players and may struggle in big moments now but it all comes with experience i.e Dallas. It happened to Oklahoma as well because there a young side. If the bulls find a deadly second shooter, it will be a Miami-Bulls conference battle most years and in the East it will be Oklahoma because there all young talented sides that will soon step up to big moments when it counts. So I can guarantee all of you that are bagging them will have nothing to say about them very soon.
Oh yeah and I am a bulls fan and Rose did thoroughly deserve MVP and I would say so even if i wasn’t a Bulls fan.
hey, just a note for the people attacking sekou about what he said, you should go back and reread it and make sure you take into account that he was talking about the most overrated storyline. soo basically he’s supporting dRose and saying that the fact that people are saying he didn’t deserve the regular season MVP is ridiculous, which it is.
