Why Bobby Leonard ranks #267 in Basketball
Bobby Leonard ranks 267th among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 2647th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 75.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 82, Longevity 76, Honours 74, Statistics 74. 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 1951–1963 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1953, which sets the Peak component at 82. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 82 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes ncaa championships 1, all-american selections 2, nba seasons 7, career points per game 9.9.
Immediately ahead sits Paul Endacott on 75.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Sonny Boswell on 75.0. 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.
