Has anyone other than Jordan won a scoring title and a DPOY award in their career? I can't think of anyone else, but some of you stat geeks might know.

It should be noted that Kareem and Wilt would have done it if the DPOY existed before 1983...

Very thin exclusive list. Make it the same year and it gets even thinner

The old players had a lot of things going against them accolades wise, no FMVP until 1969, no DPOY until 1983, no All-NBA 3rd Team until 1989, no All-Defensive Team until 1969; not to mention blocks and steals not even being recorded until 1974. I know Russell gets GOAT consideration now, but he'd have something ridiculous like 7 FMVP's & 11 DPOY's had the awards existed in his era. You can argue the older players benefited from weaker competition, but missing out on those additional accolades is a killer in all time discussions.

Agreed . I guess you could add Wilt and Kareem to the list. Probs more but can't remember
