Why Grant Hill ranks #64 in Basketball
Grant Hill ranks 64th among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 391st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 94, Longevity 86, Honours 84, Statistics 90. 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 1994–2013 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1997, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes all-star selections 7, olympic gold medals 1, ncaa titles 2, career points 17137.
Immediately ahead sits Jerry Lucas on 86.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Dutch Dehnert on 86.7. 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.
