Is Magic Johnson the most unique player like ever?

6'9 player who had all the tools to be a great Point Guard with brilliant IQ,moves that forever changed the game of basketball(people still try to copy
If not,then who's your pick?

Oscar Robertson,the triple double man,averaged 5 years triple double?

Larry Bird?A 6'9 white guy with no speed,athleticism but with high IQ,took his all around game on a hall new level

LeBron James?You know what do you get when you put Magic Johnson,Michael Jordan and Shaquille O'Neal in one place?LeBron James....

Elgin Baylor?Could score,shot in dozens of way,had the strength to post up even Russell,could pass it like Magic and dribble like one of the top point guards of his time

So...

I'd like to think so, but I think they are multiple players/coaches that are unique.

I was always a fan of Muggsy Bogues. 5'3" hardly turned over the ball. Was actually a good defender outside of in the post.

He was pretty unique himself.

Pistol Pete has to be in the conversation too. I don't think he's a top 50 player as he was inducted into, but his game and training were insane.

Unique as in can do a whole crapload of stuff?

Yeah.

Robertson - Averaging a triple double is hard but it's just as hard to get like 28/15/5, and that was just guessing numbers, but I'm sure a lotta people have done it in the past.

Bird - Was an amazing defender, shooter, and rebounder as a Small Forward, don't see anything spectacular (other than him being you know... amazing).

LeBron - lmao, he doesn't have any of their defense. But, he is unique. Maybe I'm just saying that because he's the only one I've ever seen play.

Baylor - He's right up there. As a SF getting as much rebounds as he did, wow.

Dennis Rodman... very unique.

Hakeem, very unique.

His footwork was quicker than most PG's. Crazy.

I guess Dirk is pretty unique. lot of european jump shooting big man, but only bargnani is anywhere near as good as he is.
