Why Ray Allen ranks #11 in Basketball
Ray Allen ranks 11th among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 58th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 91.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 94, Longevity 92, Honours 90, Statistics 96. 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 1996–2014 with 19 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2007, which sets the Peak component at 94. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 96 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes nba championships 2, career three-pointers 2973, all-star selections 10, career points 24505.
Immediately ahead sits Larry Bird on 91.2, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Teresa Edwards on 90.8. 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.
