Why Maya Moore ranks #79 in Basketball
Maya Moore ranks 79th among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 618th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 89, Longevity 70, Honours 87, Statistics 84. 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 2011–2018 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2014, which sets the Peak component at 89. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 89 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes wnba titles 4, wnba mvp awards 1, finals mvp 1, olympic golds 2.
Immediately ahead sits Nate Thurmond on 80.6, a gap of -2.2 points. Directly behind is Kawhi Leonard on 81.8. 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.
