Dexter Wayne Shouse (born March 24, 1963 in Terre Haute, Indiana) is a retired American basketball player who played college basketball at the University of South Alabama and in the NBA for the Philadelphia 76ers during the 1989-90 NBA season.[1]

Shouse played basketball in the Philippines in the late 1980s for Purefoods Tender Juicy Giants and the Shell Turbo Chargers. Known for playing with a perpetual scowl, Shouse caught the attention of the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers by averaging a Chamberlain-esque 50 points per game in Manila during the 1989 Philippine Basketball Association season. Shouse was signed by the 76ers during the 1989-90 season.[2] Unfortunately for Shouse, his NBA career did not take off as hoped and he was out of the league almost as quickly as he entered.
