As an NBA player, Dwyane Wade was a box office player from the very start. Quicker than most, he would dazzle with his unreal set of moves. On the hardwood, there was no real equivalent to the Flash. Winning three championships in his illustrious career, Wade is one of the most successful players of all time.

However, another huge achievement that comes under his belt is being a supportive parent. Raising a transgender child, Wade showed his openness to the entire world. And he has all the support from former boxer, Mike Tyson’s transgender daughter.

Tyson is one of the most fearless men on the entire planet. The former heavyweight champion dominated in his reign as a boxer. While having his questionable moments in his career, Tyson learned from his lessons. But while being fearless is one thing, there are some things one needs a push to talk about. And for Tyson, his transgender daughter came out to give him the confidence to confront rapper Boosie Badazz.

Mike Tyson said, “I have a trans daughter that lives in New York City. She got on the plane from New York, I had no idea, she never even sees me or talks to me. So she comes and she just comes in my booth of my show. Came in walked right through, I said ‘Hey, what are you doing here?’.”

Tyson continued, “She just went up to him, ‘Hey what’s your problem with gay people?’. He said something about Dwyane Wade’s son. And I’m saying so was it that day for my daughter to come from New York to LA to try to kill this guy and check this guy. Was it that serious really? I guess it was. I’m trying to talk to this man away and where he won’t say anything. My daughter’s right there waiting for him to say something. My daughter’s meaner than me man f**k.”
