Former NBA superstar Dwyane Wade’s heartfelt post featuring a photo of his daughter Zaya visiting the University of Wisconsin (UW) has attracted a lot of attention online, especially from Shaquille O’Neal’s eldest daughter Taahirah O’ Neal, Ishiah Thomas and Kelsey Plum.
The photo, shared on Wade’s Instagram account, captures an intimate moment between father and daughter on the UW campus. Zaya, dressed casually, beams beside her father, and they both smile playfully. The caption with the photo reads “We’re in the College Visits season!!!.” That statement has gotten attention from fans and other celebrities. However, it was Taahirah O’Neal’s message that caught the attention of the fans. Taahirah O’Neal is the eldest daughter of Shaquille O’Neal and a successful businesswoman in her own right. She said, “Love this 😍 Congrats Zaya!.”

This simple but powerful message highlights Tahira and Zaya’s emotional bond, suggesting that family extends beyond blood ties. The photo also drew interest from UW alumni, NBA player Isaiah Thomas who is currently playing for the Suns. He showed his approval of the visit by saying that he could have given a tour.
Kelsey Plum is also a UW alumnus who now plays for the Las Vegas Aces in the WNBA. She has also joined the conversation by commenting on the photo. Plum is a decorated college athlete who won three NCAA championships with the Badgers, and she could be an inspiration for Zaya, especially if she harbors any athletic ambitions of her own.
