Dwyane Wade has mastered his life away from court. 5 years after his retirement, he is still in the news. While one day he promotes his sneakers Way of Wade, the other day he simply shows up at the Oscars as an executive producer. Amid all this glitz and glamour, he makes sure to deal with his dad duties.

In his latest interview with FRONTPAGE, Wade spoke about current challenges at home and how he tackles them: “They’re twofold: First, if you want your kids to think you’re cool, make sure their friends think you’re cool. I don’t care if (my kids) think I’m cool; like, I’m their dad. But if their friends think I’m cool? Now I’ve leveled up. When their friends think you’re cool, then you’re cool to them automatically.”

Dwyane Wade being the leader on the court has seen people fail. After his own deal with Nike ended, he took a decision that was criticized by many. He joined the Li-Ning brand, and now it’s successful not only in America but also in China.
