Honors
Michael Jordan is one of the four players to have won both an MVP and a Defensive Player of the Year award in their career.
David Robinson won the award in the 1991–92 NBA season.
Dwight Howard won the award in the 2008–09 NBA season.

The National Basketball Association's Defensive Player of the Year Award is an annual National Basketball Association (NBA) award given since the 1982–83 NBA season, to the top defensive player of the regular season. The winner is selected by a panel of 124 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada, each of whom casts a vote for first, second and third place selections. Each first-place vote is worth five points; each second-place vote is worth three points; and each third-place vote is worth one point. The player with the highest point total, regardless of the number of first-place votes, wins the award.[1][2]

Since its inception, the award has been given to 16 different players. Dikembe Mutombo and Ben Wallace each won the award four times,[3] while Sidney Moncrief, Mark Eaton, Dennis Rodman, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Alonzo Mourning have each won it twice. The most recent award recipient is Dwight Howard, who is also the youngest player to win.[4] Michael Jordan,[5] David Robinson,[6] Hakeem Olajuwon,[7] and Kevin Garnett[2][8] are the only Defensive Player of the Year winners to have won NBA Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) during their careers; Jordan and Olajuwon won both awards in the same season.[5][7]
