Why Šarūnas Marčiulionis ranks #105 in Basketball
Šarūnas Marčiulionis ranks 105th among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 669th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 82, Honours 86, 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 1981–1997 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1989, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 1, olympic bronze medals 2, eurobasket medals 2, nba seasons 7.
Immediately ahead sits Bennie Borgmann on 85.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Seimone Augustus on 84.9. 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.
