On this day: Derrick Rose becomes youngest MVP in NBA history

Derrick Rose — a Chicago legend through-and-through.

On this day 11 years ago, Derrick Rose became the youngest player to win the MVP award in NBA history at just 22-years-old.

During his MVP campaign, Rose averaged 25.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 7.7 assists per game in 81 games for the Chicago Bulls, helping lead them to a league-best 62-20 record and the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, before ultimately falling to LeBron James and the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.
