A shame, really. We were denied history.
How? Rose was easily the MOST VALUABLE player in the league.
The real shame was Nash winning over Kobe two years in a row when he had Marion, Amare, Joe Johnson, and Quentin Richardson. Not to mention role players like Raja Bell and Boris Diaw. Meanwhile, Kobe was dragging starting line-ups that featured Chris Mihm, Smush Parker, Kwame Brown, and Brian Cook to the playoffs.

actually, it was lebron and then howard
lebron was only denied MVP b/c of 2 things
1. anti-lebron sentiment from the decision
2. a desire by the media to give the award to somebody other than lebron. rose got the chicago media behind him and voila, he won instead of the most deserving non-lebron candidate (howard)

Actually no. Dwight Howard was easily the most valuable player in the league that year if you're looking at who was most valuable to their team. LeBron was the best player that year, and had the best season. Rose was the best story to write. So he won.

lol no. The Heat still had Bosh and Wade (each in the top 5 at their position) with a cast of decent supporting players. Replace LeBron with the 15 best SF in the league, and they win what? 3-4 less games? It's not an award for Best, it's for Most Valuable.
So players on great teams can't win the MVP? Being on a great team is a requirement to win the MVP. Look at last year's Bulls team without half the season Rose, they still were the #1 seed. The Bulls' improvement as a team from '10 to '11 wasn't solely Rose's improvement as a player. It was the addition of Thibs, Korver, Brewer, CJ Watson and Boozer. Plus improved play by Noah and Deng.
