Why Bob Houbregs ranks #178 in Basketball
Bob Houbregs ranks 178th among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1343rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 76.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 88, Longevity 66, Honours 76, Statistics 84. 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 1950–1958 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1953, 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 national player of the year awards 1, ncaa final four appearances 1, nba seasons 5, career nba points per game 9.3.
Immediately ahead sits Anthony Edwards on 76.7, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Zion Williamson on 76.6. 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.
