Why David Lee ranks #208 in Volleyball
David Lee ranks 208th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3272nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 86, Longevity 80, Honours 80, Statistics 78. Those categories are normalised against the full Volleyball reference universe of 308 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2006–2018 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2008, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 1, olympic medals 2, world league titles 2, olympic games contested 3.
Immediately ahead sits Rosir Calderón on 79.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Gabriela Pérez del Solar on 79.9. 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.
