LakersNation Pick- Kobe Bryant
The most prestigious award went to Derrick Rose for his fabulous season with the Chicago Bulls. Rose was the overwhelming favorite for the award before the voting started, and it was obvious he would win. This season, Rose averaged 25.0 ppg, 7.7 apg and 4.1 pg. However, LakersNation did not think Rose’s performance this season was deserving of the award. In the voting, LakersNation gave Kobe 57% of the votes while Rose received 42%.
