    People still make threads like this but this one is from last year and was bumped by an insecure bored with nothing more going on in his life branstan. I am sure there are a lot of those. You better believe they will troll Durant for the rest of his career because he is another one that won 1 over him. Rose was easily the best player on the team that had the best regular season, but they still lose sleep over it

    Durant's MVP was even bigger travesty. But on the bright side players who have stolen the MVP from the King tend to get injured with crippling injuries. Karma's a bitch.

    You have to at least get one first place vote to really be considered. If you don't get one vote then you have to chalk it up to just not knowing how the system works. Rose had over 110 first place votes and nobody else got five. Most people here on this board knew it. The only travesty is that literate fans don't know how it works. Different if it was close like most years - but it wasn't.
    Why do you think Rose is always brought up, then?

    Mavericks played without Butler nearly their entire season... That would only make Dirk's case bigger.

    BTW, stop over exceggerating their opponents you damn liar.

    They lost to the Raptors at HOME, Spurs at HOME, the damn Bucks, beat the Cavaliers, beat the Blazers at HOME, lost to the Thunder at HOME, Magic at HOME, Pacers, Spurs....

    5 Home games and 4 Road games.

    Then lost with getting-in-shape Dirk at Memphis AND Detroit, even though Dirk dropped 32 on 59%....Loss. Had 2 more nights shooting in the 30's, just further proving he wasn't all there yet.

    The simple fact that a healthy Dirk owned the best record in the league is a big argument, you know it and you hate it.

    So you don't really know shit. You know which people about this? Trolls.

    And why bring up "beat them at home WITH DIRK" Wtf is that supposed to prove? This is Basketball, dude... Just last year OKC whopped Heat in Miami, then Miami whopped OKC in Oklahoma.. A 2-game sample doesn't present an argument. You would have someting if teams play each other ten times a year and they won all games with Dirk. But one different game? Funny.

    So, Tony Parker should have won the 2014 MVP, not Durant, right?

    Rose improved tremendously that year, was a consummate teammate, and he took over and won games in the end that the Bulls should have lost. With that said, 22 year old 3rd year players aren't supposed to be winning MVP. That said more about the state of the league at the time than it did Rose. Any star could have taken it that year if they had performed to expectations.

    If Lebron hadn't lead his team to multiple losing streaks with teammates crying in the lockerroom, getting beat by the elite teams, while constantly faltering in the clutch the whole season maybe he could have been MVP.

    If Dirk hadn't gone down with injury and the Mavs didn't cave down the stretch perhaps he could have been MVP.

    If Dwight Howard showed up in 4th qtrs and lead his teams to wins instead of disappearing all the time and for once put up an entire season of dominance (like he did in February of that season) maybe he could have been MVP.

    Kobe's Lakers also went on multiple losing streaks throughout the season and finished weak.

    So when it was all said and done, all of the "vets" f***ed up or had some kind of misfortune and rolled out the red carpet to Rose who's team was missing key players throughout the season but still hadn't lost more than 2 games in a row, constantly beat all of the elite teams in the league with Rose putting up great performances on nationally televised games. Don't blame Rose for taking advantage of a weak era.

    if Rose says he doesn't recruit players this board lights up. Haters gonna hate. That's what you do. Why are you asking me to explain your existence?

    There first has to be a case. 22 and 7 is a case for an all second team.

    Am I a liar or are you illiterate. I just said they beat Dallas with Dirk. My bad that Dallas lost to the Bucks and Raptors with Dirk. Sorry no matter what you think most teams were going to lose to OKC, SAS twice, Memphis on the road, and Orlando when fresh off of losing their top two scorers. It's not rocket science. By the time they could adjust any the schedule got tougher.

    Then lost with getting-in-shape Dirk at Memphis AND Detroit, even though Dirk dropped 32 on 59%....Loss. Had 2 more nights shooting in the 30's, just further proving he wasn't all there yet.

    Ugh I brought that up to highlight the fact that Dallas had trouble with those teams With Dirk. The team was built around Dirk and would have trouble adapting without him on a minutes notice and then they lost their second option. So they are down to their third option playing teams that beat them with the first option.

    It's not that hard of concept to understand. Unless hater ism overwhelms you

    This.


    People are not taking anything with context here.

    I mean Rose was in the perfect MVP scenario for the year. And like you said, he did it in primetime when everyone was watching. Remember folks, this is a Regular Season award. And Rose was the best case.

    Beat the Heat three times and played well in each. Remember the duel against Wade in Chicago.

    Beat the Spurs the night before ASG week on national TV and dropped 40+.

    Beat the Magic during the end of the year on national TV when Dwight got himself foolishly suspended.

    Beat the Knicks in MSG with some crazy dunks in the game.

    Beat the Mavs at home in a primetime game as well.

    I mean the chips fell into place for Rose and he was peaking at the tight time. I believe the Bulls were hovering around .500 until mid December. Then, like he did much of the season, he played a great game on national TV and beat Kobe in Chicago with some crazy shots in the game.

    Rose MVP makes sense in the year it came in.

    Case closed.

    Rose was the 6th best player in 2011

    Dwight, LeBron, Wade, Kobe, and Dirk were better basketball players. We get it.

    But in terms of context for the award, Derrick had the best case for it. LeBron / Wade put up near identitcal numbers. Dwight didn't lead his team to as many wins, Kobe was showing age, and Dirk was injured.

    What's so blasphemous about Derrick's 2011 MVP? He took a team of defensive scrubs to 62 wins putting up 25 ppg 8 apg for a team that missed 2 of their other 3 best players for most of the season. He was literally their only option offensively to score, or create. He outperformed everyone else against the league's best teams.

    Prime LeBron, and Wade ... featuring prime Bosh couldn't even muster up 60+ wins. That's IMPRESSIVE.

    No he didn't. The Bulls won primarily with defense and he had one of the lowest impacts on the team in regards to that. You can't be the MVP of the league when you aren't even important as far as the teams identity and what makes the team so good.

    this guy says the only player that season to be in the top 10 of points and assists didn't have any impact

    the only travesty is people who weren't watching the league closely enough saying somebody like Dwight Howard should've won it (who's team record FELL from the season prior). Still stand by my posts when this thread was created... Rose was sick that season

    [quote]"Once again, I think they have got the MVP of the league. That kid has come into his own. He has matured quite a bit. When he came into the league, everybody said he had speed, he could get to the rim, but he can't shoot. Now he can shoot
