An excerpt from the book:

A unicorn is a mythological creature that resembles a horse with a single horn on its head. While considered a myth and legend, some would say they exist, but they are as rare as any creature there is in the world. Though some would cl to have seen them, no real evidence would point out that such creatures exist in reality. However, there are those that cl that unicorns exist, albeit in a much more different form. Some say that unicorns exist in the NBA.

In the NBA, a unicorn is far from the one-horned legendary creature. But due to their rarity, they are still somewhat considered myths. While they may not be horses, an NBA unicorn is a player that could play the power forward and center position due to their size, height, and length, but could move as fluidly and quickly as guards and smaller forwards. Not only do they resemble smaller players on the court due to their athletic abilities, but they also have the skills to boot. Many players considered as unicorns can spot up on the perimeter or outside the three-point area to shoot jumpers or dribble the ball all the way to the basket themselves like guards do.

What makes a unicorn unique is that they are matchup nightmares for their defenders. A seven-foot big man that could shoot three-pointers with precision would make their defenders think twice about staying in the paint, leaving their matchup wide open. A big man that could move like a guard could blow past slower defenders on their way to the basket. And when unicorns get the of being guarded by smaller and quicker perimeter defenders, they would simply post them up inside to make use of their superior size.

As rare as unicorns are, there have been players that fit the bill. All-time great center Hakeem Olajuwon was so graceful down at the low post and so mobile for his size that he could be called a unicorn. Another one is Kevin Garnett, who stands at least seven feet tall, moved fluidly, and had the skills of a guard. While unicorns were rare back in the day, the evolution of the NBA towards a more perimeter-oriented game has paved the way for the rise of several more unicorns.
