Who’s the only person in nba history to win league mvp, coach of the year, and executive of the year?

Larry Bird also won two finals MVPs. Pretty impressive feat. Any ways, carry on.

I would say Michael Jordan is still the most “successful” in NBA history; combining dollars, championships and stardom. It’s not really close.

Damn near won a national title in college too. He was on the Kentucky team that lost to Texas Western in 1966.

Yes.
Phil Jackson is automatically disqualified for his executive stints. (I'm counting LAL via Jeanie at various points)
He was really good at his niche--managing gigantic egos. But to me that discounts the # of championships he has.
Unpopular opinion: I'd take Eric Spolestra over him. He's shown he can manage superstars and win with whomever he has. Meanwhile Phil wasn't winning anything without absurdly stacked rosters. See: the Kobe years post-Shaq pre-Pau.
