However, his 16YO daughter shunned Wade?s delusion in an interview with harpersbazaar.com,

“My dad is who truly inspires me the most. Kids always tend to look up to their parents, but not only did I idolize him growing up, but especially now, as I?m growing older and getting to know him and see him as a real person, I realize that he has played such an essential role in supporting me and the way that I choose to present myself to the world. He?s been so supportive and my biggest advocate.”

With Wade now no longer an active NBA player, he has all the time in the world to spend with his children, and we hope to see more wholesome interactions like this in the future.
