Kristaps Porzingis owns an advantage that no other player in NBA history can match.
The idea of the unicorn is that it's something never seen before. It's a term that has entered the lexicon of casual NBA fans and been thrown around to describe not only Porzingis, but also Joel Embiid, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Anthony Davis and Kevin Durant. And yet the fact that Porzingis plays the style he does at 7-foot-3 makes him special even among the rarest of breeds.
We've seen players of his stature come along before, going all the way back to Swede Halbrook (the first NBA player to stand 7-foot-3) and up to new LA Clippers center Boban Marjanovic (who together with Porzingis shares the distinction of tallest active NBA player).
