Why Louie Dampier ranks #61 in Basketball
Louie Dampier ranks 61st among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 358th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 88, Longevity 86, Honours 82, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Basketball reference universe of 402 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1967–1979 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1970, which sets the Peak component at 88. 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 aba championships 1, aba all-star selections 7, aba career points 13726, aba career assists 4044.
Immediately ahead sits Katie Smith on 85.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Bob Kurland on 85.1. 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.
