Why Dave Bing ranks #174 in Basketball
Dave Bing ranks 174th among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1128th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 90, Longevity 78, Honours 80, Statistics 88. 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 1966–1978 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1969, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes scoring titles 1, all-star selections 7, career points 18327, all-star game mvp awards 1.
Immediately ahead sits Janeth Arcain on 82.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Bernard King on 82.2. 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.
