Is Derrick Rose really the MVP of the NBA?

[DRoseOwnsACamry]

I would like him to take considerably less three point shots, long range 2's, and take more mid-range shots and drives to the basket. It's painful to watch him have such poor shooting nights and the haters get a field day.

He made the big plays down the stretch.. And I he has accounted for the biggest share of his teams offense this year.. To do that on a team that is in 1st place is great.. He deserves the MVP over everyone... But Wade is going to make a run for it... But right now Dhoward is behind him.. And he is playing off the charts as well

His shot selection ain't too bad. He doesn't go into hero mode. Which is great to see from a young player with alot of hype.

basically, hes no kobe. Kobe takes ill-advised shots. Drose, not so much.

Jalen Rose is retired...

He's not going to improve on his shooting range if he doesnt try.

[Rose]

I'd just rather him not take 3s unless he's wide open. OR is feeling it. Because before he was hitting like 2/5 or so. And now it's either 80%+ from 3 or 0%

MVP this year =

He already has improved it. His consistency of his mid-range game is what's suffered compared to last year. Last year 15-20 feet out he was shooting at 50%, this year he's below 40%, but obviously he's improved his three.

So I'm looking at his offensive stats.... and they're good, but MVP worthy? Not even CLOSE.

Now, I haven't watched him play much at all. Not a Bulls fan so I don't catch their games. For him to be in the MVP consideration, he must be a All-Defensive Team caliber defender. His offensive stats just don't cut it.

Why all the Rose for MVP talk?

I'm honestly not trying to troll. Does he fart fairy dust? Why is he being considered for MVP when his offensive stats don't cut it?

There's no point in discussing it. The race is over, the trophy probably already has his name on it. Media votes on it and they made up their minds a long time ago
