Why Krešimir Ćosić ranks #57 in Basketball
Krešimir Ćosić ranks 57th among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 296th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 84, Honours 92, Statistics 86. 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 1968–1983 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1975, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship golds 3, european championship golds 2, olympic gold medals 1, olympic medals 4.
Immediately ahead sits Kevin McHale on 87.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Don Haskins on 87.3. 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.
