Attack is the most defensive, and defense is the most defensive. What is the integration of offense and defense? Only these three people can interpret it!

In modern basketball, the division of labor among players is becoming more and more clear, including outside shooting, ball-holding breakthrough, dribbling organization, including the basket protection, etc. Although most players can earn a considerable income through a unique skill, they make it increasingly rare for players who can truly achieve "offense and defense". In fact, in the history of the NBA, there are many players in the era in which they live. They need to play the most defensive players on the offensive end, and they also need to take the lead in the most offensive players on the defensive end, and they are the real leaders.
However, if you want to ask about the top-level offense and defense integration, there are probably only three people in NBA history that can take on this title. These three people have achieved a very great achievement in a single season, that is, they have won both the regular season MVP and DPOY trophys. These two trophys are very rare honors. One symbolizes the best player of the season, and the other means that they are the most defensive player this season. The meaning behind these two trophys is self-evident. Let’s take a look at who these three are!
1. Michael Jordan achieved season: 87-88 season
Personal data: 35 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 3.2 steals and 1.6 blocks
The first to do this in history was Michael Jordan. I really want to believe how this guy, who is 1.98 meters tall, ruled the entire NBA world in that era when there were many insiders. Back in the 87-88 season, this is Jordan's fourth year in the NBA, but he can contribute 35 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 3.2 steals and 1.6 blocks, and his shooting percentage reaches 53.5%. This data order is very exaggerated. While he scored crazy on the offensive end, he also had to take into account some organizations. On the defensive end, he defended from the outside to the inside. Whether it was steals or blocks, he was the best among the shooting guards. And what's even more amazing is that while consuming physical energy, his shooting percentage remains at an astonishing 53.5%, which proves why Jordan is called the "God of Basketball".
In this season, he helped the Bulls win the best record of 50 wins and 32 losses in recent years. Therefore, in this season, he directly won many awards including regular season MVP, DPOY, All-Star MVP, scoring king, stealing king, the best first team of the season, the best defensive first team, and the All-Star lineup. At the same time, he was even able to defeat Dominic Wilkins defending the dunk contest in the All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest, so Jordan became the only player in NBA history to win nine awards in a single season. What's even more terrifying is that Jordan was only 25 years old at that time. Compared with the current 25-year-old player, not to mention that he is better than Jordan, even his average honor cannot be achieved.
2. Hakeem Olajuwon
Season: 93-94 Season
Personal data: 27.3 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 3.7 blocks
As the greatest player in NBA history, Jordan has always been picky, but when a reporter asked him, if he was not Jordan, which player he most wanted to be in the NBA, he gave his answer without hesitation - Hakeem Olajuwon. As the two players with the highest achievements in 1984, one is Tanhua and the other is the No. 1 pick. Although the two have never been teammates, they appreciate each other. Time comes to the 93-94 season. This year, the leader of the Qiao Gang announced his retirement for the first time. The NBA has entered a short era of the rise of heroes, and Dameng has become the big winner. During this season, he averaged 27.3 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 3.7 blocks per game, helping the Rockets to achieve an excellent record of 58 wins and 24 losses. He contributed dominant data on both offense and defense, and eventually successfully won the regular season MVP and DPOY of the season, and was selected into the best team. Since then, he has become the second player in NBA history to achieve this achievement.
Of course, Jordan respected Da Meng so much back then, not only the honors he achieved in the regular season of the 1993-94 season. During the playoffs, Da Meng successfully seized the opportunity. After breaking through the siege from the West, he finally defeated his opponent in the finals and won the coveted championship trophy. During the entire playoffs, Dameng averaged 28.9 points, 11 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.7 steals and an amazing 4 blocks per game, defeating every opponent. It is precisely because of his outstanding performance that Dameng was successfully elected as FMVP in the Finals. Since then, he has become the only player in NBA history who can win three major awards in regular season MVP, finals MVP, and DPOY in a single season, and is also selected into the best teams.
3. Giannis Antetokounmpo
Season: 19-20 season
Personal data: 29.5 points, 13.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block
The third in history to achieve this achievement is Antetokounmpo's. Although his overall ability is still a little different from that of the two predecessors, it has to be admitted that Antetokounmpo is indeed an almost bug-level player in the active NBA. If Nikola Jokic relies on extremely high ball business and organizational skills to help the team move forward, then Antetokounmpo is an extreme. His terrifying physical fitness and amazing talent are enough to lead the team to the championship without having top-level shooting ability. In the 19-20 season, although the Bucks failed to win the final championship, Antetokounmpo showed people a phenomenal season, averaging 29.5 points, 13.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Whether it is the offensive, defensive, or the organizational end, you can see his busy figure. This is a very rare existence in today's era of very clear division of labor. In addition, although he failed to win the championship, he fulfilled his dream the next year, so Antetokounmpo deserves to appear on this list with two legendary seniors.
