Dwyane Wade’s son Zaire is one of the nation’s top fifth grade basketball
prospects
By Cameron Smith
Throughout the recently completed NBA playoffs, Dwyane Wade found himself the
target of criticism about his age and suddenly diminished athleticism. There
was a reason for that: Compared to his first title, and even the Heat’s runs
in 2011 and 2012, Wade appeared old, with concerns about his knees and his
ability to play a strong second banana to LeBron’s Michael Jordan act.

Luckily for the Heat, Wade came through in some of the biggest moments and
Miami won another title. Luckily for the Wade family, Dwyane isn’t the last
talented hoopster to carry the surname.
As first posted by City League Hoops, and featured in the video above, Zaire
Wade has emerged as one of the nation’s top fifth grade boys basketball
players. The younger Wade completely tore apart the competition at the recent
John Lucas Future of the Game camp and emerged as one of the most impressive
young point guards on offer.
While Zaire Wade (anyone care to take a wager on how long it will be before
someone nicknames him Congo or DRC?) may be as thin as any other beansprout
shooting fifth grader, he shows plenty of the athletic gifts of his father,
not to mention a similar deadly first step on his cuts to the basket.
Zaire Wade has also shown a knack to take over leadership of his scrimmage
squads, an act similar to his father, who now shares those duties with James
(he also seems to share the sense of humor both his father and LeBron show,
but that’s another story).
Dwyane Wade appears to share something else with James, too: Zaire Wade’s
affections. Given the fact that his father is a highly paid Nike athlete who
has his own sneakers, one might assume that young Zaire would compete proudly
sporting the latest D-Wades. He doesn’t. Instead, he played at the Future of
the Game event wearing the latest LeBrons.
All the more proof of the new King of South Beach, and just where Zaire Woods
sees himself in the future. Given his skills at the age of 10, he just might
get there, too.
近日，韋德11歲的兒子Zaire打球的視頻在網上瘋傳，讓人不禁感嘆“虎父無犬子”。
該段視頻拍攝於拉斯維加斯舉辦的約翰-盧卡斯未來之星訓練營。Zaire在訓練營中顯露
出了驚人的籃球天賦，讓所有人看到了他的潛力。非常開闊的傳球視野，出色的運球過
人，犀利的突破，讓人感覺有他父親韋德的影子。令人眼前一亮的是，他還有一手精準
的三分。
目前，Zaire是一位五年級生，NBA未來又一個閃電俠？或是比他的父親更加出色？讓我
們拭目以待！
