Who am I?
In 1967-68, I attended Trinidad State Junior College, and averaged 28.2 points and 22.1 rebounds per game.
I won a Gold Medal at the 1968 Summer Olympics, and I am still the youngest American basketball player in Olympic History.
In my only season of NCAA Division I Basketball, I led the Nation in rebounding, (21.5), while scoring 32.1 points per game.
I was permitted to play professionally in the 1969-70 season because of a 'hardship exemption' introduced by the ABA; my mother was earning $2 per day picking cotton in Mississippi while raising 10 children. I was named both Rookie of the Year and MVP in the ABA after the 1969-70 season, my only season in that league.
I played for the Seattle Supersonics in the 1970-71 season, and I was subsequently drafted by the Buffalo Braves in the 2nd Round, (30th pick) of the 1971 NBA Draft.
Prior to the 1979-80 season, I was traded for a future Hall of Famer who would average better than 30 points scored per game in his first five seasons with his new team. I won my only NBA Championship ring in 1980, and my team waived me prior to the beginning of the next season.

Pretty sure Bill Walton (RIP), Abdul Jabbar, won 3 times.
Leaside's own Zach Eddy twice I am sure of it.

Bill Walton and Kareem Abdul Jabbar, (as Lew Alcindor), are Correct!
Many players have won twice.
The first name that popped in my head was Dave Kingman, and the second name was Chris Davis. I recall Kingman being better for longer, so my answer is Davis.
