The raging war between the two T’s has officially commenced. Meta’s new social media network ‘Threads’, went live on Wednesday as a direct competitor to Twitter. Since its release, the platform has received a mixed bag of early reviews around the basketball community. One of the major standouts has been Zaire Wade, the firstborn of Dwyane Wade.

People have already engaged with the comparison questions. But Z-Wade is really pushing the conversation further.

Son of Heat legend Dwyane Wade, Zaire is a baller

To have a proper understanding of the story, it’s crucial to have a little insight into the three-time NBA champion’s firstborn.

Zaire Blessing Wade was born on 4th February 2002 in Chicago, Illinois. The 6-foot-1 21-year-old is a professional basketball player who had a brief stint with Utah’s G-League team. Currently. he’s playing in the Basketball Africa League(BAL) as a member of the Cape Town Tigers. He occupies the point guard position for the African side.

He signed with Salt Lake City Stars as the 10th overall pick in the 2021 G-League draft. Interestingly, his father purchased a stake in the Utah Jazz franchise in April 2021. Nonetheless, Zaire’s run in the NBA was cut short due to a career-threatening injury that forced him out for an entire season. Ultimately, the management relieved him from the team in 2022.

Now that we know a little about the 15-time all-star’s eldest son, let’s see what he’s been saying about Threads!

Unfolding the whole social media episode

On Wednesday, everyone was occupied setting up their Thread accounts. Zaire Wade was no stranger to the movement as he used his personal handle to post the question, “Thread or Twitter?”.

In addition to that, the 21-year-old couldn’t hold himself back when he commented laughing emojis on a GIF of his dad on Threads, captioned, “Watching everyone get their Threads off”. 

Funny enough, this is the post most users seemed to gravitate towards.

One of the users wrote, “that’s what she said”, regarding the caption by Bleacher Report.

A LeBron James fan posted a comparison photo in the comments which certainly escalated the humor while bringing in a poignant NBA comparison.

The USC Football team’s admin took the opportunity to have their say in the matter by commenting “Stocks up, Threads up”. 

Another user reacted with a hilarious image of LeBron down in the comments section.

Which team are you on? Threads or Twitter?
