WBEZ 91.5 Chicago

Derrick Rose has been named the NBA’s most valuable player. The news was hardly a surprise for those who’ve been watching him light up the hardwood all year.

The NBA has made it official: Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose is the MVP.Rose officially became the NBA's youngest MVP on Tuesday. He joins Michael Jordan as the only Bulls players to win the award after a spectacular season in which he led Chicago to the league's best record.

The Bulls may have the best record in the league. But that stat didn’t seem to impress the Atlanta Hawks. On Monday the Hawks outplayed the Bulls to take a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven playoff series.

If the Chicago Bulls didn't know what they were up against in their NBA Eastern Conference Semifinal series against the Atlanta Hawks, they sure do now.  And on Monday, his name was Joe Johnson.

Imagine if picking teams for a game of kickball took three days — you’d never make it in for dinner. But that’s how long it took the National Football League’s 32 teams to pick their newest crop of players. The NFL Draft is quite the event.

The Chicago Bulls begin Round Two of the playoffs Monday night against the Atlanta Hawks. The Bulls went 2-and-1 against the Hawks during the regular season.One key to the game is the health of the Bulls. Carlos Boozer is reported to have turf toe.

Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen has been suspended for two games for arguing balls and strikes then complaining about his ejection on Twitter during the game.
