He's always been a fan, but NBA legend Dwyane Wade credits his young daughter as a major influence for why he started investing in the WNBA.
Basketball icon Dwyane Wade said he's always been a fan of the WNBA , but he credits his family as a major reason as to why he's an investor now, too. His 5-year-old daughter, Kaavia, who he shares with actor Gabrielle Union, was the biggest influence when it came to becoming part owner of the Chicago Sky in 2023.'The big part of that is that my son, Zaire, grew up and he had a dream of being in the NBA,' Wade said. 'He had a dream of being like his favorite players.
'The women showed up when the lights were the brightest and that started back last year when Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark had that national championship moment,' Wade said. 'It's just like anything that we want to do in life. You work and you just prepare for your moment. You don't know when it's going to come always.'Beyond basketball, the NBA legend is creating change with his daughter Zaya, who is transgender and an LGBTQ advocate.
