This season's MVP debate is settled as far as LeBron James is concerned. James said he believes Derrick Rose is rightfully the front-runner for the league's top individual award and that everyone else falls in line behind the Chicago Bulls point guard. "I think [it's] Derrick Rose," James said before the Heat's game Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards. "What he's done for that team, with all the injuries they have and them being first in the Eastern Conference -- they're playing some really good basketball." Rose said he was surprised to get LeBron's vote. "Yeah ... I'm speechless right now to tell you the truth," Rose said. Rose, however, also said the MVP race isn't his main concern right now. "It means a lot, especially coming from a player like him, that won it two years in a row and could win it every year," Rose said. "But right now, my focus is on just winning games. Trying to get better towards the end of this season, and we're trying to be a 48 minute team." Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/truehoop/miamiheat/news/story?id=6274778
