Why Carl Braun ranks #133 in Basketball
Carl Braun ranks 133rd among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 771st of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 88, Longevity 86, Honours 76, 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 1947–1962 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1955, 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 5, nba titles 1, career points 10625, career points per game 13.5.
Immediately ahead sits Kyrie Irving on 81.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Teresa Weatherspoon on 81.3. 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.
