Why Tim Hardaway ranks #133 in Basketball
Tim Hardaway ranks 133rd among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 867th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 80, Honours 80, Statistics 90. 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 1989–2003 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1994, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes all-star selections 5, career assists 7095, career points 15373, all-nba selections 5.
Immediately ahead sits Nat Holman on 83.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is James Harden on 83.8. 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.
