Why Slater Martin ranks #110 in Basketball
Slater Martin ranks 110th among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 650th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 86, Longevity 80, Honours 88, Statistics 80. 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 1949–1960 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1955, which sets the Peak component at 86. Honours 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 nba championships 5, all-star selections 7, all-nba selections 5, career assists 3160.
Immediately ahead sits Nneka Ogwumike on 82.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Breanna Stewart on 82.5. 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.
