Due to its unique approach to sports and pop culture, “The Dan Le Batard Show “has secured quite a fan following. When most expected Dwyane Wade to blaze through the show, he became a heartthrob. Considering the chain of events going on in his life, the 41YO NBA star decided to open up in the Le Batard show. Amidst the series of questions and cracking puns, Dan decided to pop the most controversial question. How did Wade maintain his composure with criticism?

Cool under the pressure as we always knew Wade, he beautifully embraced the question and replied, “I can’t wreck my brain trying to understand everyone’s ideas.”

Wade continued by saying we are not made to be the same. The biggest mantra of Wade is to stay away and ignore his naysayers.

It is highly commendable that Dwyane’s family moved out of Florida due to the negativity they received for advocating the rights of the LGBTQ community. When Dwyane was asked about this, he said, “Having a Wade County is great but I cannot live where my family is uncomfortable “

Wade: The courage and empathy he beholds

Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade were presented with the prestigious President Award at NAACP’s 54th annual Image Awards to honor the vocal support they render for the LBQT community and their philanthropic works. The reason behind all this is Dwyane’s daughter Zaya, who came out as transgender in 2020. The support they give their daughter is highly perceptible. Since then, the couple started endorsing the rights of trans and LGBTQ+ communities.

Dwayne gave a powerful speech heralding the courage of her daughter. “Zaya, as your father, all I’ve wanted to do is get it right. I’ve sat back and watched how gracefully you’ve taken on the public scrutiny and, even though it’s not easy, I’ve watched you walk out of that house every morning as yourself.”

It’s so valiant of Dwyane and Gabrielle to welcome their daughter as to who she is. And admiringly wistful that they valued their serenity and decided to dismiss all the negativity from around them.
