Top 5 scorers for Team USA Basketball in the Olympics in the 21st Century

4. Dwyane Wade - 186 points (2004, 2008)

Dwyane Wade had an underrated impact on Team USA

Dwyane Wade has only played in the 2004 and 2008 Olympics. Had he participated in 2012, he would be higher on this list. As it is, he holds averages of 11.6 points per game

There was a time not too long ago when Dwyane Wade was in the conversation of being among the Top 10 shooting guards of all time. While he never displayed the shooting touch from distance, he shaped his game along the lines of the classical shooting guards who would get theirs from the mid range and up close.

In the 2008 Olympics, Kobe Bryant firmly stamped his will on the sport of basketball with a clutch performance for the ages in the Finals. Lost in his heroics is the fact that Wade was actually the top scorer for Team USA in the 2008 Olympics with 128 points. He averaged 16 points per game in the 2008 Olympics, and 7.3 points per game in the 2004 Olympics.
