With 40 points completed the match against his former team, the San Antonio Spurs, the DeMar DeRozan leading the Bulls to another win with 120-109.
The leader of the “Bulls”, who has forced all the experts to apologize for their predictions in the summer, had 16/24 in the field, without even scoring a three-pointer, while he also shared 7 assists, scoring almost half of his points in the last period.
Despite the fact that it seems very difficult, the experienced forward is nominated for the MVP award and his numbers cause fatal comparisons with the man who last won this award as a Bulls player.
The reason for him Derrick Rose, who in 2010-11 was the youngest player to be honored with this distinction. So that season, Rose had 25 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.7 assists, 1 steal and shot with 44.5% on the field and 33.2% on the three-pointer.
THE this year DeRozan is even better… The 32-year-old has 27.9 points per game, 5.2 rebounds, 5.1 assists and shoots with 51.5% (!), having 33.7% from three points.
Are we witnessing the best season by a Bulls player since the MJ era? ?? pic.twitter.com/nhwhyaYBbJ
