NBA players aren?t the only ones who get the chance to dominate in the spotlight. Sometimes, it?s their family members. From Shaquille O?Neal?s daughter racking up collegiate offers?to Michael Jordan?s eldest son dating his teammate?s ex-wife. The children of most basketball legends are well in the public eye. Some, willingly, and others just out of the fans’ curiosity about their favorite NBA legends. 3-time champion Dwyane Wade is no exception.

Even before the Miami Heat legend was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, the public eye has constantly fallen on his loved ones. This time the news isn’t about his teenage daughter. It’s about the 4-year-old social media phenom.

Kaavia featured 16-year-old activist Temple Lester as part of ?Woman Crush Wednesday?, a trend older than herself.

For this week, Dwyane Wade‘s daughter chose the teen activist. She earned the spot for her role in promoting STEM through her personalized ?swag box.??

The box contains items like a magnetic slim kit, a science project featuring the Earth, an LED light paper circuit, etc.
