Terry, Rose Receive NBA Awards




Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls and Jason Terry of the Dallas Mavericks have been rewarded with NBA awards this week. Rose won the Rookie of the Year award, and award that many saw him winning since the middle of the season. O.J. Mayo of the Memphis Grizzlies was a far second in the running for the award. Terry has been reported to win the award, having a good season for the Mavericks off the bench.




Terry has always been a factor in the Mavericks offense. He has come off the bench to give the Mavericks energy, complimenting Dirk Nowitzki's good season. Terry had competition from J.R. Smith of the Denver Nuggets for the award, but Smith came on late in the season, while Terry has held the team together and has consistently produced offensively for the Mavericks. Rose was able to take a Bulls team who won 33 games and bring them to the playoffs.




Did Rose and Terry deserve their awards respectively?
