Why Victor Wembanyama ranks #102 in Basketball
Victor Wembanyama ranks 102nd among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 955th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 75.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 90, Longevity 52, Honours 70, 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 2019–present with 5 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2024, 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 rookie of the year awards 1, all-defensive first teams 1, blocks per game peak 3.8, olympic medals 1.
Immediately ahead sits Yao Ming on 73.9, a gap of -1.2 points. Directly behind is Caitlin Clark on 69.6. 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.
