Both combined? It’s Bob Pettit.


Yes you are correct.

LSU- 2 SEC titles, Final Four
quote:

Pettit averaged 31.4 points and 17.3 rebounds per game during his senior year and once again led LSU to an SEC Championship and garnered All-SEC and All-American honors.
He set a then-SEC scoring record of 60 points against Louisiana College in his second game, and also the SEC record for scoring average, with both records being broken by Pete Maravich.

Pettit also was only the second player in major-college basketball history to average more than 30 points a game


NBA- ROY, 2x MVP, NBA champion
quote:

Pettit was an NBA All-Star in each of his 11 seasons (won the All-Star game MVP 4 times), was named to the All-NBA First Team ten times, and was named to the All-NBA Second Team once.

Pettit averaged at least 20 points per game and at least 12 rebounds per game in each of his 11 NBA seasons.
He never finished below seventh in the NBA scoring race and no other retired player in NBA history other than Pettit(min. 5 seasons) that has averaged more than 20 points per game in every season they've played (note: Michael Jordan averaged exactly 20 points per game in his final season).
