Why DeMar DeRozan ranks #60 in Basketball
DeMar DeRozan ranks 60th among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 449th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 86, Longevity 88, Honours 72, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Basketball reference universe of 399 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2009–present with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2020, which sets the Peak component at 86. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes all-star selections 6, all-nba teams 3, olympic golds 1, career points 25000.
Immediately ahead sits Lenny Wilkens on 81.5, a gap of -0.2 points. Directly behind is Nneka Ogwumike on 82.8. 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.
