Why Dennis Rodman ranks #73 in Basketball
Dennis Rodman ranks 73rd among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 593rd of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 86, Longevity 78, Honours 82, Statistics 82. 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 1986–2000 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1991, 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 nba titles 5, rebounding titles 7, defensive player of the year awards 2, all-defensive first teams 7.
Immediately ahead sits Kyrie Irving on 81.4, 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.
