MVP - Derrick Rose - Chicago
This pick comes down to 3 players in my mind, Derrick Rose, LeBron James & Kevin Durant (sorry Kobe, but your play did drop some this year), with that in mind how can you not go with the best player on the best team? Derrick Rose really picked up his game this year, especially when down the stretch. He gets the nod.
Rookie of the Year - Blake Griffin - LA Clippers
This is an easy one, Blake Griffin was easily the best rookie, he's got a great all around game, he's got charisma, he's got super star potential. John Wall is going to be a good one too but he wasn't in Griffin's class (at least this year), watch for him to make a Derrick Rose like rise though in the years to come.
Most Improved Player - Kevin Love - Minnesota
Love went from 14.0 points to 20.2 points and from 11.0 rebounds to 15.2 rebounds per game, he went from cog player to star player. Eric Gordon of the Clippers also continued to improve, he's my runner up. Michael Beasley of the Twolves had a nice turnaround too, he seems to have put his past problems behind him. Kris Humphries really took off too (oddly enough, it seemed to coincide with his relationship with Kim Kardasian).
Coach of the Year - Tom Thibodeau - Chicago
Thibodeau did an outstanding job in his first year as a head coach. I don't think anybody expected the Bulls to finish the regular season with the NBA's best record, he really brought the most of his team. George Karl also did a nice job with the Nuggets, he's my runner up.
