Zaire Wade made his daddy proud
Back in the month of April, Dwyane Wade took to his official Twitter handle to share a video. It featured a compilation of some of Zaire Wade?s best moments during a game. At that time, the 21-year-old was part of the Cape Town Tigers, a team based in the Basketball Africa League (BAL).
From passing the ball in an effective manner, running past his opponents like lightning to preventing his opponents from scoring one for their team, Zaine seemed to dominate at every aspect during the game.
