Why Charles Cooper ranks #146 in Basketball
Charles Cooper ranks 146th among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 965th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 82, Honours 80, Statistics 80. 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 1929–1946 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1938, 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 world professional tournament titles 1, rens win streak in 1932-33 88, hall of fame induction 1977, seasons with the rens 11.
Immediately ahead sits Toni Kukoč on 83.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is John Beckman on 83.3. 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.
