Once upon a time Michael Jordan tormented the Detroit Pistons. Now it seems as if that responsibility has fallen into the hands of Derrick Rose, and he hasn't skipped a beat.
Not that he does, but if Derrick Rose needed anyone else to speak out and convince the voters to give him the MVP award, he got that in the form of Chicago Bulls' legend Scottie Pippen.

The Chicago Bulls have eight games remaining on their schedule, and have a two and a half game lead over the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat. But this is no time for them to get comfortable or complacent.
Derrick Rose had 23 points and 10 assists in three quarters and the Chicago Bulls blew out the Minnesota Timberwolves 108-91 on Wednesday night.
It seems like the race for the NBA's MVP has already been decided, and rightfully so. Derrick Rose has lead the Chicago Bulls to the top of the Eastern Conference and put up plenty of highlights along the way.

Tom Thibodeau certainly wasn't enthralled losing a game on Monday night but he sure used it to his advantage at practice Tuesday.
