What a fall from grace.

Weakest MVP winner since I've been watching the NBA.

This is stupid. Dude was a beast before all the injuries essentially derailed his career.

He wasn't better than Lebron that year, not even close.

Rose got the award because people were still pissed off about the Decision.

What?




ETA: IT and Rose are awesome. Lebron is just too hard to play with and ruined them.

Dwight should have won it that year.

Won't do any good if they keep losing without Buckets.

Given what's available, its as solid a pickup as they're going to get.

They need someone to spell Teague a little bit more, and Tyus Jones has shown a little wear down the stretch.

Without Butler, they're juggling more minutes around, as well, and Rose isn't exactly garbage as 6th/7th guys go.

Thibs is going to finish the job of ending Rose's career.

Yes he is. He’s 469th in RPM and 466th in BPM.

Maybe he isn't garbage but he's nothing special. His name gives him far more media attention than his game performances. He's an inefficient player that has a low BBIQ and doesn't shoot well.

The greatest mistake Rose ever made was destroying his body over those few years to win an MVP instead of tailoring his game for a longer lasting career. Hopefully the guys coming into the league are taking notice. Doesn't matter how athletic you are.
