Basketball Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade will be front and center at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

A two-time Olympian, Wade returns to the Olympic stage in a different capacity in 2024. 16 years after playing for the "Redeem Team" Wade will be the main analyst for U.S. men's national team games alongside play-by-play announcer Noah Eagle.

With Wade at the Olympics as an analyst, there's no better time to look back to when he played at the Olympics during the prime of his NBA career. Here's more on Wade's Olympic history, his stats, and best performances.

How many Olympic medals has Dwyane Wade won?

After a breakout rookie season with the Heat, Wade was selected to play for the U.S. national team during the 2004 Olympics in Greece. The youthful 2004 squad notably came up short, ending Team USA's streak of consecutive gold medals.

In 2008, Wade was selected for the famed team that helped USA Basketball return to the mountaintop of international basketball. In a reserve role, Wade helped Team USA win gold in Beijing. Wade did not participate in the 2012 Olympics due to a knee injury that required surgery.
