Could anyone ever pull this off? Hakeem came close being the only player to win the regular season MVP, DPOY, and the Finals MVP. Of course, the DPOY has only been awarded since the early 80's, and I'm sure Bill Russell or Wilt could have done it.

MVP, DPOY, and Finals MVP are within a player's control to a certain extent, however adding Olympic Gold depends on which year the player achieved his accomplishments. One out of every four times would a player who won MVP, DPOY, and Finals MVP have even a shot at Olympic Gold. Thus, it doesn't seem very appropriate to add that has a criteria.

This.

The better question would be, what players have a MVP, DPOY, FMVP, and Olympic Gold on their resume.

Jordan came closest. He finished 3rd for DPOY behind Robinson and Rodman.

Had Shaq played in 2000 (he declined I believe), he would have came closest (DPOY runner-up).

Actually Hakeen got closest in 94.

Had literally everything except the medal.

His chance of winning all four was over before the season began.

Lebron didn't have DPOY in 2012. I assume that's why OP is asking.
