Bulls’ Rose is voted NBA rookie of the year (AP)

April 22, 2009

Chicago Bulls' Derrick Rose holds NBA Rookie of the Year trophy on Wednesday, April 22, 2009, in Northbrook, Ill. Rose became the third Bulls player to win the award Wednesday, joining Michael Jordan and Elton Brand.

Like most good point guards, Derrick Rose rarely gives anything away. This time, he couldn't resist. After learning Wednesday he is the NBA's rookie of the year, Rose let a little secret slip: He wanted the award. Badly. "When I first came into the season, my biggest thing was to get this award," Rose said.
