KAAVIA COMFORTS DAD DWYANE WADE AS HE TEARS UP DURING SON ZAIRE’S TRIBUTE

Dwyane Wade was brought to tears as his son Zaire took the stage with a moving tribute during his Statue unveiling ceremony on Sunday. “I’m not here to talk about the accolades necessarily, but more so the man that isbehind the statue,” Zaire began. “For me, he is my father first… I think that goes over a lot of people’s heads sometimes,” Zaire said, emphasizing his dad’s impact as a father, not just a sports icon. He reflected on life lessons Wade taught him, like the importance of “perserverance” As Zaire, 22, continued to speak straight from the heart, his father became misty-eyed so much so that little sister Kaavia had to comfort the NBA icon. “No matter what you do in this life, you will have obstacles—this goes for everybody out there…there will be ups and downs, but it is important to believe in yourself. It’s important to chase something that maybe only, at certain times, you can see,” Zaire said. “But you’ve got to get up every day and continue to put in the work to reach the outcome on the other side of hard, as we always talk about.” View this post on Instagram A post shared...
