Why Bailey Howell ranks #181 in Basketball
Bailey Howell ranks 181st among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1211th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 86, Longevity 80, Honours 84, 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 1959–1971 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1963, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes nba titles 2, all-star selections 6, career points 17770, career rebounds 9383.
Immediately ahead sits Vern Mikkelsen on 81.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Kawhi Leonard on 81.8. 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.
