Author's Note: Are you a leader or a follower? Dwyane Wade is a leader on the basketball court. He is a team player and wants his team to get better. Dwyane lead his team to victory in the 2010 FIBA World Championship.
The Men’s USA Basketball Team has been in the FIBA World Championship since it first started in 1950 all the way until the latest Championship in 2010 in Turkey. They have never placed lower than 3rd in the Tournament. The 2010 USA Team, led by Dwyane Wade, was arguably one of the best teams to play in the World Championship games.
The 2010 Men’s basketball team went across the ocean to Turkey without a gold medal and came home with one after winning the 2010 FIBA World Championship Final, the USA beat host nation Turkey by 17 points. The USA team went 4-0 during the FIBA World Championship. Their first game was against Angola. They blew them out and won 121-66. Their second game was against Russia and won 89 to 79. In the third game, they played Lithuania and won 89-74. They were in the championship game against Turkey and won 81-64. Dwyane Wade was the leading scorer and the best player on the court. When they got home, people yelled and cheered for them to congratulate the USA players for their gold medal victory.
Dwyane Wade averaged 16 points per game. He was the best player on the court. No one could stop him. In the National Basketball Association, he plays for the Miami Heat. You might think that 6’4” is tall, but not in the NBA, because Dwyane is a point guard. He is a very big threat when he has the basketball. He can dribble, shoot, score, play defense and more. Dwyane may be the best player on the court, but it is all about team work.
Basketball creates teamwork and passion for the game. The USA team had a lot of teamwork winning the 2010 Championship. The United States plays together because they have won many FIBA World Championships. They won in 1950, when it first started. They also won in 1954, 1959, 1974, 1982, 1986, 1994, 1998, and 2006 before winning the latest FIBA World Championship in 2010.
Considering the number of great USA World Championship basketball teams, the 2010 USA World Championship team led by Dwyane Wade will be considered one of the greatest teams. When Wade and the 2010 team are compared to other USA championship teams, they should most definitely be considered as one of the best teams in history.
