In 1988, Michael Jordan won Defensive Player of the Year AND averaged 35 ppg.
No other player has ever won DPOY and averaged 30 ppg in a season.
In fact, no other DPOY winner has averaged 30 in ANY season across their career.
That same year, Jordan also collected every major individual accolade:
• MVP
• Defensive Player of the Year
• All-NBA First Team
• All-Star Starter
• All-Star Game MVP
• Slam Dunk Champion
• Scoring Leader
• Steals Leader
To top it off, he didn't miss a single game.

(2022) 4 years ago today, Michael Jordan immediately smack talked Magic Johnson at the NBA 75 ceremony.
“C’mon, where your shoes at, we could go play one-on-one, me and you, right now.”
Giannis Antetokounmpo says Shams Charania ‘cannot hoop’ 🤣
Richard Jefferson: “Your team is not fair!”
Giannis: “You know why it’s not fair?”
RJ: “Why?”
Giannis: “Cus we have Shams on my team. He cannot hoop! But everybody else can hoop.”
Ayo Dosunmu and Terrence Shannon Jr., both Chicago Public School products, both Big Ten Champions at Illinois, finally get to play together in Minnesota and compete for a championship.
I hope they win it all.
