what are the dennis rodmans of the world (other than Dennis rodman of course)

who have a really unique approach to the game, statistical profile or body Type for their position/style of play

players who dont fit the orthodox mold of how their position is played or what kind of body it requires

csn be anythingh from stars to role players,
it can included "weird" iq (players who are not orthodox in their decision making or tactics)

If you're talking non-orthodox body type for basketball look no further than Spud Webb.

Chuck Hayes was pretty short (not super athletic either) for a center.

7'0" Kevin Willis had 6'10" wingspan, but he was a very good rebounder, averaging 10+ rebounds for 4 straight seasons (15.5 as the highest).

Jamison and his bunny hop shots were pretty unique and effective.
