Even Michael Jordan has weighed in on who he thinks should win the MVP award this year.  Derrick Rose has played at an extremely high level this year, forcing his way into the conversation for who is this year’s MVP.  For the past few weeks, Lebron James has been the favorite to win a third consecutive MVP award.  However, given the recent struggles of the Miami Heat, that notion has changed.

Rose has carried the Chicago Bulls to the second best record in the Eastern Conference despite injuries to key big men.

The argument for Lebron winning again is partially due to how poorly his former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, have played this season.  But as I see it, that is no reason to give the MVP award to someone.  There is no denying that Lebron is talented.  However, this season has really been Rose’s coming out party as he has become one of the premier players in the league.
