Why Nneka Ogwumike ranks #61 in Basketball
Nneka Ogwumike ranks 61st among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 456th 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 78, Peak 88, Longevity 82, Honours 82, Statistics 86. 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 2012–present with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2016, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes wnba titles 1, wnba mvp awards 1, all-star selections 8, career points 6500.
Immediately ahead sits DeMar DeRozan on 81.7, a gap of -1.1 points. Directly behind is A'ja Wilson on 85.0. 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.
