Why Ann Meyers ranks #183 in Basketball

Ann Meyers ranks 183rd among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1231st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 92, Longevity 68, Honours 82, Statistics 86. 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 1974–1980 with 7 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1977, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic silver medals 1, world championship titles 1, ncaa all-america selections 4, quadruple-doubles in ncaa play 1.

Immediately ahead sits Kawhi Leonard on 81.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is DeMar DeRozan on 81.7. 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.
