Chicago Bulls guard and reigning MVP Derrick Rose said Friday he believes Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant is the front-runner for this season's award. "KD is playing great," Rose said. "I'm hearing about what he's doing, hearing about how he's playing. The numbers speak for itself, how he's working out this summer, and he's playing great basketball.

Durant is averaging 27.7 points, 8.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks for the Western Conference-leading Thunder.
