Question
Not a question,  just a thank you for answering my question on who is the Celtics all-time leading scorer. Did you see Mr. Havlicek at the game last night?

My trivia question is;  Who is the only player besides Wilt to be the MVP and rookie of the year in the same season?

Thanks Again,

James L. Miller

Answer
Hi James,

and yes, I saw Mr. Havlicek, Mr. Russell and a lot of Celtics Greats more, yesterday. Although your trivia question is not related to the Boston Celtics, I accept the challenge, and answer that the only player besides Wilt Chamberlain to gather MVP and Rookie of the Year honors in his first season in the NBA is Wes Unseld.
The kentuckian center managed the feat in 1969, after the Baltimore Bullets had selected him as the #2 overall pick in the previous draft.
