Why Cynthia Cooper-Dyke ranks #31 in Basketball
Cynthia Cooper-Dyke ranks 31st among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 159th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 89.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 90, Peak 96, Longevity 76, Honours 92, Statistics 92. 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 1986–2003 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1997, which sets the Peak component at 96. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 96 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes wnba titles 4, wnba finals mvp awards 4, wnba mvp awards 2, olympic gold medals 1.
Immediately ahead sits Jason Kidd on 89.2, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Kevin Durant on 88.8. 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.
