\"<strong><a<\/p>\n

With the NBA regular season coming to a close it’s time for awards week at The Hoops Manifesto.\u00a0 We’ve teamed up with some of\u00a0Bloguin’s best NBA writers to vote on who gets the (virtual) hardware.\u00a0\u00a0We finish up with:\u00a0MVP\u00a0and All-NBA Teams.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Voters: <\/strong>Jeff Fox from The Hoops Manifesto<\/a>, Philip from Orlando Magic Daily<\/a>, College Wolf and Dan Bonk\u00a0from TWolves Blog<\/a>, Aaron Hodges from Knicks Fanatics\u00a0and Sean Fran\u00e7ois from from Hoop Heads North<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bloguin’s NBA MVP
\n<\/strong>
\nDerrick Rose<\/a><\/strong> – Chicago Bulls
\n25.0 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 7.7 apg
\n<\/strong>
\nWe all thought it was pretty cute when little Derrick Rose<\/a><\/strong> proclaimed at the starting of the season that he had plans on being the NBA MVP.\u00a0 Rose did prove in his first two seasons in the League that he was a nice player – an All-Star even – but league MVP?!\u00a0 Wishful thinking, at best.\u00a0 Afterall, point guards don’t tend to win that award, anyway (other than Steve Nash<\/a><\/strong>, of course).\u00a0 And Rose wasn’t even considered the best player at his position heading into this season.\u00a0 Apparently the joke’s on us.\u00a0 Rose did indeed have a MVP-caliber season, excelling at both ends of the court and, most importantly, leading the Bulls to the best record in the NBA, despite having a rookie head coach and injuries to key players like Carlos Boozer<\/a><\/strong> and Joakim Noah<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 Maybe from now on we’ll pay attention to Rose when he makes predictions – the kid could be the next Nostradamus.<\/p>\n

Others receiving votes: Dwight Howard<\/a><\/strong>, Kevin Durant<\/a><\/strong>
