Why Tina Thompson ranks #32 in Basketball
Tina Thompson ranks 32nd among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 225th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 86, Longevity 88, Honours 86, Statistics 88. Those categories are normalised against the full Basketball reference universe of 399 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1997–2013 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2001, which sets the Peak component at 86. Longevity 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 wnba titles 4, career points 7488, all-star selections 9, olympic golds 2.
Immediately ahead sits David Robinson on 86.5, a gap of 1.3 points. Directly behind is Lisa Leslie on 86.3. 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.
