Wade recently was part of a podcast interview with Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner on the ?Point Forward? YouTube Channel. Evan Turner asks Dwyane Wade about the access/support he gives to his children and whether he makes sure to not ?spoil? them.
Dwyane Wade responds, ?I don?t know if I?m doing a good job? if I?m not spoiling or over spooling?like I said, I?ll find out. One thing I do know is what I bring to the table from the time away from my family.?.
Wade further explains, ?Often building the things that we have, I bring resources to the table?I want my kids to tap into my resources, I don?t want to do everything for you but I want you to understand that everything you have the opportunity to be a part of and do.?.
The Hall of Famer then talks about the black community, ?and that?s the one thing in our community that we lack. We lack resources. So I try to tell my kids ?don?t run away from it. Don?t run away from how hard I?ve worked to have some of the simplest resources that are not simple in our community”.?.
