45 games into the season, Derrick Rose ranks in the top ten in the NBA in scoring and assists. He’s not only jumped into MVP race, he’s leading it.

“I don’t know if likely is the right word, but it’s certainly probable,” K.C. Johnson, of the Chicago Tribune, said on the Mully and Hanley Show when asked about Rose’s MVP chances. “From my perspective, right not it’s a two-person race, and I know it’s still early and there’s a lot of basketball left to be played.”

Amar’e Stoudemire and Deron Williams were being mentioned along with Rose and others as MVP candidates. But as the New York Knicks and Utah Jazz have started to cool off, so has the candidacy Stoudemire and Williams. Other great teams in the league, like Boston and San Antonio, play more team focused games.

“To me, it’s between LeBron James and Derrick Rose right now,” Johnson said. “And LeBron obviously has such a backlash from what happened last summer and also will probably have some votes split because of Dwyane Wade’s presence. So, it sounds crazy, but to me right now, Derrick Rose is the front runner for MVP.”

Rose’s MVP-caliber season will take a couple days off before the Bulls get back to action on Friday against the Orlando Magic.

Dude, you’re not a G. Miami is known for what? Crime and Cuban food? Chicago – world class city. More money, more professionals, more business, financial hub, better social life, better restaurants, better bars, better sports teams. Chicago and New York are the two greatest cities in the country – no other two even come close.

Also, the “G’s” in Chicago would stomp out the G’s in Miami. Fact. We even have that on you. Miami Heat = couldn’t sell out games when they were 9-8. 17 games into their “dynasty” and they couldn’t sell out!

HeatFan – I’m better than you. That must not make you feel good.

Also, “h0s” hate you.

“cuz i’m a straight G hangin in miami ”

Miami is a cesspool. I lived there for 12 years. Outside of parts of SB it’s pretty much a ghetto. It’s too bad Andrew didn’t hit dead center. Hell, I’d rather go to Ft Myers then Miami.

you truly are making yourself look like an idiot. you know that, right? And considering I am a Heat fan, you see my point. Rose is the MVP at this point.

D-Rose has led the bulls to the third best record in the East, and has done so without Boozer and Noah for most of the year.

Meanwhile, James has Wade and Bosh playing alongside him, and have a comprable record of the Bulls.

You tell me who is more valuable.
