Wade’s public support for Zaya during her journey of self-discovery was heartwarming. It has also been a powerful statement of acceptance and love. But once, he spoke about a dream that he had for Zaya. Like LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, he wanted to be an NBA dad. He wished Zaya to take on the same dream that once the young Dwyane dreamt of. Wade shared, “I have Zaya. LeBron has Bryce. Melo has Kiyan. All within a 2-3 week span,” he said, “All our kids gonna grow up hooping together. ‘Oh we on! Boy we gonna have 3 babies! We on!”

While the Miami Heat legend spoke about his wish, he also shared that orchestrating dreams for another person’s life in such a manner was never right. With his actions, the legend keeps proving that he is the perfect role model for fathers everywhere.
