Derrick is one of the most phenomenal and youngest players in the NBA. He is currently 22 which still makes him eligible to compete in the NCAA tournament. To think that a player of this level can be still be competing at the college level is astonishing. Rose is a third-year guard at the Chicago Bulls and he has impacted this team in so many different ways whether it is on the court with his scoring abilities or off the court, where he is a young leader helping his teammate out. The crazy thing right now is that Derrick Rose has a chance to make history. If he was to be named the 2011 MVP, he would become the youngest MVP in league history. The youngest MVP before Rose was Wes Unseld who was 23 just before he received his MVP award while he was playing for the Baltimore. In addition, as I mentioned above, he would be the first MVP winner while still being able to compete in the NCAA tournament. If Rose was still in college, he would be a Senior in Memphis. He would also be the first MVP winner who never received a vote in the previous MVP nominations. The last person to do this was Bostion Celtics’ Dave Cowens in 1973. As Rose drives on toward the finish line of becoming the MVP, legends Michael Jordan, Doc Rivers and Avery Johnson are among the many people that are on board the Derrick Rose MVP bandwagon because they see the potential that Derrick Rose has.
