In the last 20 years, LeBron is the only player to win the MVP and FMVP in the same season. Will we see this again soon? (alien.top)

I knew it didn't happen that often but I guess until recently I didn't realize that LeBron is the only person of the last 20 years to accomplish this, which he did twice.

Tim Duncan was the last before him, in 2003 the year LeBron was drafted. So during LeBron's time in the league, he is the only player to do so.

In history 10 players have done it:

Willis Reed (1970)
Kareem (1971)
Moses Malone (1983)
Larry Bird (1984, 86)
Magic Johnson (1987)
Michael Jordan (1991,92,96,98)
Hakeem (1994)
Shaq (2000)
Duncan (2003)
LeBron (2012,13)

Who can you see joining this list?

Jokic will probably do it this year. He will definitely get a sympathy MVP to make up for the voters fucking him aka Perk trying to start a race war in Embiid's name, and if they couldn't stop him last playoffs I don't see how anyone will beat the Nuggets this year.
