Dwyane Wade had a very special person following him around during his final All-Star Weekend. It’s the same person who was with Wade at his introductory press conference with the South Florida media in 2003.
The 37-year-old Wade was 21 when he was drafted by the Heat. His 17-year-old son, Zaire, was just a 1-year-old at the time.
And 16 years after Wade’s introductory press conference, Zaire was right by his side just like when Wade’s NBA career began. Almost everywhere Wade went in Charlotte during his final All-Star Weekend before retiring at the end of the season, Zaire was with him.
