2010-11 salary: $5,546,160
Season recap: Rose had the best season of his career and raised his game to a new level, becoming the youngest MVP in NBA history at 22. He worked hard last summer on improving, and that work paid off as he developed a more consistent long-range shot. Rose carried the Bulls offensively all year, especially during the first month of the season when Carlos Boozer was out because of broken hand. Rose pressed as hard as he could to produce in the postseason, but his body seemed to wear down at the end of the postseason due to all of the intense defensive pressure he was facing.
Season highlight: Rose had plenty of ridiculous highlights all year. He scored a career-high 44 points in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Atlanta Hawks. He recorded his first triple double on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in Memphis. He was voted into his first All-Star game as a starter in February. But his Feb. 17 game against the San Antonio Spurs may have been his best. Rose was dominant all night, scoring 42 points and almost single-handedly destroying one of the best teams in the league. That particular game gave him even more confidence heading into the All-Star break.
Season lowlight: Rose had his moments during the postseason, but as a whole, he would be the first one to tell you he could have played a lot better. He simply didn't shoot the ball well on most nights because he was bothered by the near constant double teams. Specifically, in the last four games of the Eastern Conference finals, Rose struggled to find any kind of offensive consistency. He was just 32-for-98 in the final four games and didn't make the type of game-changing shots that everyone had become accustomed to seeing throughout the year.
Final grades: Regular season -- A | Postseason -- C
Notes: Rose never likes telling anyone if he is hurting because he doesn't want to use injuries as an excuse, but the ankle injury he suffered in the Indiana series bothered him. He was hesitant to make cuts during certain points and his trademark explosion seemed to come and go as he settled for a lot of jumpers. Rose knows that he must continue to work on his conditioning and the Bulls know they must get him another scorer on the wing to take some of the pressure off him offensively.
What's next?: Rose once again will spend a majority of his time working with his trainer, Rob McClanaghan, as they try to get his body back in order. After a large portion of last summer playing with Team USA, Rose realizes that he must give his body time to recuperate. He desperately wants to win a title in Chicago and he knows he fell short of his ultimate goal last month. Losing to Miami in the Eastern Conference finals will motivate him to get even better.
