Why Blake Griffin ranks #168 in Basketball
Blake Griffin ranks 168th among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1032nd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 88, Longevity 78, Honours 74, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Basketball reference universe of 402 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2009–2023 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2017, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes all-star selections 6, rookie of the year awards 1, dunk contest wins 1, all-nba teams 5.
Immediately ahead sits David Thompson on 78.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Damian Lillard on 78.7. 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.
