Da Bulls

The Bulls won many championships with Michael Jordan, and ever since then, they haven’t really had a dominant player. They have had players who started doing well after they left the bulls but that is about it, until Derrick Rose. His dominance on the court has made the Bulls into a power house team again and they are now a force to be reckoned with. The first 2 years of Rose’s career with the Bulls have been average seasons, but once they found the right guys to put around him they have become the best team in the Eastern Conference. Although this is only his third season Rose is in the running for MVP, and is in the top ten in the NBA for points with 25.1 per game and assists with 7.8 per game. He has carried his team so much this season, but has had some help from his fellow players, that have either been added this season or recently. There are 3 other players averaging double digits Carlos Boozer with 17.7 points per game, Loul Deng with 17.5 points per game, and Joakim Noah with 11.7 points per game. There are also two guys that have a lot of points and rebounds, Joakim Noah who averages a double double with 10.4 rebounds a game, and Carlos Boozer who almost averages a double double with 9.7 rebounds per game. This team has gotten out of the mediocre slope that the franchise has been in since the Jordan years. They are the first team to get over 60 wins in the season since the last time they won the championship in 1998, so I think that this team can go pretty far, I don’t know if they will win or not but they are looking pretty good. They will most likely have the MVP over the whole NBA in Derrick Rose.
