Why Yolanda Griffith ranks #58 in Basketball
Yolanda Griffith ranks 58th among Basketball athletes on GOAT Rank and 435th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 78, 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 1997–2009 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1999, 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 wnba titles 1, mvp awards 1, finals mvp awards 1, olympic golds 2.
Immediately ahead sits Bob Pettit on 85.0, a gap of 1.0 points. Directly behind is Lenny Wilkens on 81.5. 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.
