NBA legend Dwyane Wade recently landed in the middle of quite a funny yet odd tale when his 21-year-old son, Zaire Wade, shared a photo on his Instagram. The picture depicted a casual gathering featuring some of the biggest names in basketball: Chris Paul, LeBron James, and, of course, Dwyane Wade himself.

But any potential super-team chatter, that might?ve been prompted by such a high-profile gathering, was quickly quashed by the elder Wade and his quick-witted dad jokes.

When Zaire Wade put out that star-studded picture, basketball fans and analysts simply asked whether that was just a sign of something bigger to come. We?ve seen super-teams in the league before LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh led the ?Big Three? in Miami, after all.

Was Zaire hoping to follow in his father?s footsteps and team up with the same legendary teammates who once reigned upon the hardwood?

But, Dwyane Wade’s Son quickly stomped out those rumors the way he knows how, jokingly. He took to social media, sharing a picture of his son with the caption, “We need 1 more to run 5s! Comment who?s it gone be? ?” and this clever statement gave his fans the reassurance that everything was cool, there was no hidden NBA plot.

The same goes for Dwyane Wade?s response to the Instagram post made by his son, as no matter how star-studded professional basketball can be, family always takes the lead. The idea of another supergroup comprising Wade and pals might have gotten anyone?s juices flowing. But the truth is that Zaire Wade?s tweet was about paying tribute to the friendship between these basketball legends.


LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have had endless competitions against one another and many behind-the-scenes interactions over the years. They?re more than friends on the court; they hope their kids can inherit it. An image of Zaire Wade was a tribute to the tight bonds that form among NBA players, serving as a reminder that basketball isn?t only a competition but a place to create everlasting bonds.

As they never were and as we never will see, an all-star lineup of these legends together is still nothing more than a dream ? the real-life camaraderie and friendship between them that little Zaire Wade gets to witness every day as he plays the game he loves.
