Why Clyde Lovellette ranks #112 in Basketball
Clyde Lovellette ranks 112th among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 670th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 76, Honours 86, 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 1953–1964 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1956, 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 nba championships 3, olympic gold medals 1, ncaa championships 1, all-star selections 4.
Immediately ahead sits Breanna Stewart on 82.5, a gap of -0.1 points. Directly behind is Angel McCoughtry on 82.4. 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.
