Why Alonzo Mourning ranks #73 in Basketball

Alonzo Mourning ranks 73rd among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 482nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 94, Longevity 78, Honours 86, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Basketball reference universe of 276 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1992–2008 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1998, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes defensive player of the year awards 2, nba championships 1, all-star selections 7, career blocks 2356.

Immediately ahead sits Dan Issel on 86.2, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Joe Lapchick on 86.0. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
