Everyone knows the best player in the NBA doesn't always get the MVP. I am not denying a big reason for Drose's MVP is the team's success that year. Coaching was a big part of that but to dismiss so easily the notion that he was at the least MVP worthy that year is ridiculous.
No one, in anyway, would seriously think Derrick Rose, makes a team around him better even comparable to LB.
I actually think Rose makes his teammates worse. The Bulls aren't better without Rose, but it's not as big of a drop off as you'd imagine.
I honestly think Rose is arguably the worst player to have ever won the award. I might be sounding like a Bulls hater, but I am just being real.
I've said numerous times, the Bulls are our biggest threat in the East. Obviously with Rose going out that changes things, but I am not quite sure I'm ready to write them off honestly.
I don't think Derrick resembled the player he was. The player he was, to me, was really good, on his way to superstar status. But he was never a superstar to me.
So, I really don't know how big of a loss he really is. He's not been their best player this year. Not even their second best player. It hurts the Bulls, but I don't think they are suddenly done because he's out.
