Team USA: All-time leaders for career rebounds in Olympics history image

Having played in 31 games through four Olympics, both of which are USA Basketball records in the men's category, Carmelo Anthony sits atop Team USA's all-time leaderboard for career rebounds in the Olympics.

In a close second spot is David Robinson, a FIBA Hall of Famer whose 54 rebounds in 1988 is the fifth-most by a Team USA player over the course of a single Olympics.

Although Anthony's position at the top is not under threat, Kevin Durant, a member of Team USA's roster for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, could rise as high as third all-time going by his average.
