Watson tweets it — unofficially — Rose MVP

Signs have been pointing to Bulls guard Derrick Rose supplanting Wes Unseld as the youngest most valuable player in league history for weeks.

Teammate C.J. Watson took matters to another level Friday evening, tweeting the following: "congrats to drose on winning the MVP he's played unbelievable this season!!! now just need tibs to win coach of the yr."

The NBA declined to comment on Watson's tweet. The league has awarded the MVP in the first week of May in recent seasons. The league also likes to announce the award the day before a home playoff game and then have Commissioner David Stern present it to the winner before a home playoff crowd.
