When legends retire, they only end their NBA career, their love for basketball remains eternal, it never fades. When the late Kobe Bryant retired, he used his time to enlighten aspiring kids to learn more about basketball through his academy.
Likewise, Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade might have hung up his shoes, but that won’t stop him from playing the game he loves.
D-Wade and his son Zaire Blessing Dwyane Wade recently hit the court to practice some shots and the 3X NBA champion hasn’t lost his grace at all.

In the series of videos posted by Zaire on his IG handle, we could see Dwyane Wade nail his three-point shots from the left-wing behind the arc.
Furthermore, he showcased his sublime one-legged jumper, which was also wonderfully replicated by his son Zaire. Safe to say that the 18-year-old prospect is training under a good pair of hands!
