Dwyane Wade was recently inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame for his incredible achievements over the course of his career. During Wade’s induction, he had his family with him as well. Notably, his father, Dwyane Wade Sr., and son, Zaire Wade, took center stage when the Miami Heat legend received his iconic Hall of Fame jacket. Witnessing three generations of Wades together on one of his biggest days has made Tony Parker question his own decisions. However, it was not always easy for Wade.
Wade Sr. was a major reason behind Wade’s success in the NBA. He pushed his son from a very young stage to be stronger and trained him as well. Also, Zaire was a crucial part of his father’s journey as well as he was born when the Hall of Famer was at the beginning of his career.

He then disclosed his one wish. Parker said, “That was my only wish that my kids can see me play. Because now they ask me a lot of questions. And I was always when I was younger, ‘I’ll do kids later.’ But when I saw you and I saw your kid and you did your sign.”
The San Antonio Spurs legend noted that it was really cool seeing Wade and his son do their handshake. Wade hilariously replied that it looks cool now, but it was not very cool when he had a child at 20.
