Why Wayne Embry ranks #149 in Basketball
Wayne Embry ranks 149th among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 986th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 78, Honours 86, Statistics 86. 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 1958–1969 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1962, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak 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 nba championships 1, all-star selections 5, nba points 7544, nba rebounds 5814.
Immediately ahead sits Cheryl Miller on 83.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Tony Parker on 83.2. 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.
