Zaire attended school with Bronny James at Sierra Canyon. He later went to Brewster Academy. After receiving multiple offers from colleges he decided that he wanted to go straight to basketball instead.
Dwyane purchased a minority ownership stake of the Utah Jazz back in April.
He shared his happiness that his son was drafted to the team saying, “Wade Legacy Continues…Proud Dad moment!”
Dwayne was the 5th overall draft pick in the 2003 NBA draft, he played for the Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Chicago Bulls. He officially retired as a member of the Heat in 2019.
Best wishes to Zaire Wade, congrats!
