Why Teresa Edwards ranks #12 in Basketball
Teresa Edwards ranks 12th among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 64th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 90.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 92, Longevity 94, Honours 92, Statistics 88. 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 1984–2004 with 21 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1992, which sets the Peak component at 92. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 4, olympic games contested 5, world championship titles 2, olympic assists record 143.
Immediately ahead sits Ray Allen on 91.1, a gap of 0.3 points. Directly behind is Phog Allen on 90.7. 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.
