Dwyane Wade rates his father’s unknown skills

Initially, Wade was more into football and he was impressive as a wide receiver. However, he tasted real success as a basketball player, when he was recruited by Marquette University. From 2000 to 2003, he represented the Milwaukee-based University and led his college in scoring consecutive years. In 2007, Marquette retired his jersey which was an exception at the time because only those students who graduate get their jersey retired. Wade had skipped senior year in college to enter the 2003 NBA draft where he was drafted by the Heat as fifth overall pick.

Post-game, Wade entered the court to shoot some unusual free throws as his target was some garbage bins. While the Heat legend was making buckets, Wade Sr. was behind the camera, doing the commentary. Dwyane posted the clip on his Instagram story, rating his father’s skills. He gave his dad a solid 3/5, stating that it’s “light work.”
