re: Derrick Rose - First NBA MVP not to make Hall of Fame?

This too. The point is that Rose had no business winning that year, so in my opinion, it doesn't hold a lot of weight. Didn't Bill Simmons do an article where he redid all of the MVPs a couple of years ago?

Don't get me wrong, I think Rose had a very good season that year on the best team in the East during the regular season. He still wasn't as good as Lebron though. I'm not sure Simmons reranked the MVPs, but he did some sort of weight to the trophy to try and show how dominant the player was.

I think Rose's award is similar to the Oscars, when someone who had won already probably had the best performance, but not by much. So they decide to give the award to the person who transformed his or herself into a different role.
