Jordan's 87-88' season was insane (MVP and DPOY). Four other dudes have done that. Can you name them without cheating?

in the 87-88' NBA season, in an era when the 3pt shot wasn't really a thing and tackling dudes on defense was encouraged, Michael Jordan AVERAGED

35 pts
5.5 reb
5.9 assists
3.2 steals(!)
1.6 blocks
53.5% FG

oh yeah, and he also won Defensive Player of the Year.
