Unicorns are mythical creatures. Wondrous beasts; depicted as white horses with one long horn extruding from their foreheads. They fly and spread happiness throughout the land with their wizardry and farts made of rainbows and glitter. In the NBA, a unicorn is player who is one in a million. A type of player that does not fit any traditional NBA position and seems to completely question the game of basketball on a nightly basis.
LeBron James and Kevin Durant have been the gold standard in recent years for the title of NBA unicorns. LeBron, at 6’8″ 250 lbs, absolutely dominates both ends of the floor, offensively and defensively.
