Most unique players in the NBA?

Who in the league has the most unique skill set when compared to either players at the same position or of similar size? Not necessarily looking for the best player, so let's not turn this into a Lebron = GOAT thread.
For me, it's Dirk. No one in the league at that size has his type of perimeter game. Add that with his series of fadeaways and spin moves, and he's your worst nightmare. I can't think of but a handful of guys who have both the size and quickness to contest Dirk.

Durant and Dirk.

GHAZI? Is it really you?

I mean obviously the answer is Lebron. He's 6'8'' and can play all 5 positions like a Magic
Chris Bosh is a black Dirk kind of. He's similar size, has a good outside game, and is actually a better rebounder by a bit

Paul Pierce is the biggest vagina in the league. It is a rare skill to be as big of a vagina he is for a man his size.

Bosh is the closest thing to Nowitzki. They attack from mostly the same spots. Bosh is the more explosive athlete, but Dirk has the better pull-up jumper. It's a shame that Miami doesn't feature Bosh in their offense more. That's just nitpicking the best offense in the league, though.

The NBA has no one near as unique of a player as him with his size/"position". Fast, Strong, Fluid, Expert Passer, Unstoppable Driving, Can go down in the block & dominate, etc.

Nothing is as unique as a player that can basically do anything/everything they want on the court & that's him.

I mean, he's one of the more obvious answers to this question. I didn't want to eliminate him as one of the possible choices. Just wanted to get some real, solid answers and to prevent this from becoming another fanboy thread on here.

I'll throw one out there that I think is unique in his size for the position.
Chuck Hayes. Not a great player by any stretch, but he plays against guys who are at least 4'' taller than him on a nightly basis, and bangs with them all night.
But I still think the best fit to this question is Lebron. Put him on Memphis and Mike Conley is out of a job (this coming from an OSU fan)

Bargnani is closer to early/mid 2000s Dirk.

Ginobili in his prime.

What an absolutely terrible comparison.
