Dwyane Wade's Plan For Zaire is Falling Apart
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 бер 2024
- The son of Dwyane Wade has been around the basketball world forever it seems like. As one of the most viral talents of the last two decades, it's not usual to see a talent like this seemingly disappear over night. Zaire Wade's shot at an NBA career seems like a longshot at this point, so today we cover the reasons Zaire Wade was never able to fit into his dad's shoes.

@@Snip42 Arvydas Sabonis wasn't a scrub and neither was Dell Curry. Sabonis was a star in his prime but couldn't come over until he was 31 and Dell was one of the better 6th men in the league. Now Steph makes Dell look very middling but he makes most players look that way. Domantas is just like his father a solid second tier star, but unlike his father it's not obvious that he will make the HOF.
What about Doc and Austin Rivers
Klay and mychal thompson as well
@@dominic4981scrub son.
People underestimate just how hard it is to make the NBA, let alone have a decent career
no lie. it’s an athletic freak show.
I agree doesn’t matter who son you are you either got it like that or you don’t
It's pitics and buissness
We'll not with the big Greek brother 😂😂
@@bossmade1631honestly Thanasis made it to the league on his own merits, however he wouldn’t currently have a spot without Giannis.
He was mid major D1 talent at best. Folded trying to shortcut his way to the league via his Dad / Gleague. He quickly found out he was not a factor
Ppl don't seem to understand this. Folks call the kid lazy with no work ethic. His dad made him work hard and train. But that isn't enough. If it was there would be thousands of NBA caliber players. It's like the MLB prospect that has power and speed but just can't hit the ball no matter how hard he works at it. It's not meant to be. Also Wade played 4 years of college I believe before bring drafted. He should've let his kid do the same. Maybe he would've at least gotten stronger and had more actual game experience.
@@chadwhitfield6946the 4 years in college is an excellent point 💯 I definitely would say D-Wade was a better college prospect than Zaire, but even D-Wade went through some growing pains transitioning from highschool to college, and like you said, had he not been given ample time to adjust to a faster, more physical game, he may have had the same trajectory as Zaire.
Yeah it’s not a bad thing to go to a mid major , like his dad ?! And develop
@@605highsprings Great point...
@@chadwhitfield6946wade played 2 years in college
He could be a doctor or engineer . This is not meant for every body , even if your father is Micheal Jordan
Kid dedicated his whole life to being mid…aint no doctor or engineer lol…he needs to start a podcast 😅😅
@fredm.2699 start a podcast is nasty work 😂
@@fredm.2699 😂 that is probably what he will do or a twitch streamer.
He’s literally playing pro in Africa Americans don’t understand that pro basketball isn’t just the nba playing pro anywhere Is a blessing that only few people get to experience
@@islimeyewout6316 well if he wasn't rich playing pro basketball in Africa wouldn't be a great job opportunity for an American. The average pro there makes 4k a month. Who do you think is paying for his living expenses?
The worst part with these nepo kids is that they have access to every sort of training and coaching resource available yet they don't have any of the basic skills developed. Their dads just throw them into the top AAU teams and let them get all sorts of exposure without developing a set of good, basic skills; they can't dribble, pass, or really shoot well. It's such a waste.
he doesn't have a work ethic it's that simple. idk what it is but you could tell when looking at the kid that he's lazy
@@hooligan5381it’s not even a work ethic issue, the work ethic would come if they had a love for the game but they just feel pressured to play because of who brought them to this earth and excel until they get older
Put him in a dress and let him play
expect this has nothing to do with zaire
I’m pretty sure they train 😂
Some of these kids aren't talented, they're trained. The fathers are talented and provided knowledge and training but the "born to ball" isn't in some of these kids
It can be though the sad thing is they’re born rich so they don’t have that hunger and drive their parents had when you have millions of dollars to go home too it’s easier to accept failure that’s why kids like him fail and a lot more NBA players kids will unless they have that drive that sets them apart
Good way to put it. You can have all the training; knowledge, practice but there’s def a certain x-factor/intangbles or whatever else you want to call it that makes someone a flat out hooper and these kids simply don’t posses that. You can’t learn that certain something either. You either have it or you don’t so there’s not much else they can do. But honestly, for both him and Bronny they’re just not nearly as big, athletic and explosive as their dads. Just physical profiles aren’t the same let alone the x-factor intangibles they sure as hell don’t posses. They are guys that play basketball they’re not “hoopers”. There’s a big difference
A lot of people don't understand NBA athletes are flukes in the sense they are generally top 1% height combined with great coordination. Most people are uncoordinated, it only gets worse with more height.
@@McOofy I agree most ppl are uncoordinated. But there are lot of young tall kids who play sports and are very coordinated. I've played against them and I've coached them. For a kid like Zaire, he simply wasn't great in enough areas. You have to be the best of the best of the best to make it to the NBA.
It’s really hard for an insanely successful person to raise equally successful children. The only example I can think of is Charles Koch, and his father made him do manual labor from sunup to sundown his whole childhood (when not in school) to instill the work ethic. Most rich parents are too nice to provide that level of love.
The Koch’s made their kids do manual labor. The Wades make their children transition genders to prepare them for the world!
When their kids are born in riches, especially those who were born when the contracts went crazy, there's simply no hunger anymore. No motivation to prove anything.
One of the primary reason players are motivated to make it is for their family - to give back and thank their loved ones who supported and sacrificed for them to make it.
It’s simply very hard to make it no matter who you are , nba parents don’t guarantee success or failure , we have examples of both. Kids dream of making it but at that point it isn’t about saving their families it’s about simply making it to the league because that’s where the best are.
That's simply not true though. There are plenty of examples of athletes in multiple sports who have well off families and still achieved greatness. Look at Curry. Probably the GOAT point guard and he didn't grow up poor and had connections
@ELGUAPOIV had connections but didnt use them him staying at davidson was the best thing for him.
Cap. There are plenty of pros who's kids are in the league. Not everyone is going to make it. Steph and his Seth, Tim hardaway, Cole Anthony are all evidence against your point.
Boozer, Arenas’, and even Carmelo Anthony’s kid are all good talented kids putting in work. I’m impressed by Kiyan Anthony the most because he’s got LaLa and Carmelo as parents and still very much has that NYC swag to his game.
Wade was special cause even at the a young age he had elite level speed and athleticism and also had a crazy wingspan for his height and could pack on more muscle than even guys who were taller than him, those are things you have to be naturally blessed with along with talent and unfortunately just as majority of the world, zaire wasnt.
Considering the resources his family has these kids of former nba greats should just take the opportunity to go to medical school or become an engineer or something
They dont have the brains for it.
I think it’s time D wade shifts his focus to getting his other son Zaya to the WNBA.
🥴
💯💯💯💯💯💯
bro 😂😂😂😂
What about magic son can he play too
@@manugabbanawhat’s so funny? He is a son right?
Like literally nobody thought bronny and Zaire were gonna be the second coming of d wade and bron. And if you did just because they are their kids then you were clueless from the start
@BurnerAckman boy lol I’m from Cleveland. Lebron is my goat. I’m just not blind and see their sons are no where near as good as them
Ironically, it was the haters that were trying to hype them up like that and then hate on them for not meeting their lofty expectations they made up themselves lol
Bronny is decent tho. Not tryna be his dad just tryna be himself
@@BurnerAckman dude you're terrible at trolling
wrong, ppl still think Bronny will be the next LeBron lmfao it aint gon happen
Wasn’t a high school star idk why he didn’t go to college for 4 years !
Because his dad's ego got in the way which is ironic. Dwyane wasn't an NBA prospect after HS and went to college 4 years to develop. Don't know why he thinks his son couldn't try the same route.
Shit compared to his little brother’s “plan”. Id say Zaire is doing just fine 😂
right.
This is the correct answer
Got em coach!
You mean little sister🫣
@@keshalove9206hell nah he meant brother
The most funniest thing is, they have a video about about Wade being overjoyed about Zaire being drafted in GLeague Salt City where Wade hold a minority stake.
He should've either gone to DePaul or Nebraska. DePaul is a high major (Big East) in Chicago where Wade is from, likely would've been protected by media there and Wade's influence could have gotten him some pick up games over summers against the pros which would've really helped his development. Nebraska is also a high major (Big 10) coached by Fred Hoiberg, who both played and coached in the league, notably being Dwyane's coach that year he was with the Bulls and they seem to have a good relationship so that's another place where he could've had access to high competition and been protected while developing. The fact they had 2 ideal situations in their hands and chose the worst option is poor planning.
It fell apart when he went to that stacked Sierra Canyon team instead of his own team. The same goes with bronny.
Yeah . He also should've went to college I wasn't happy when he went to the G league
@@khymitchell2196 yup. They treated high school like a joke. Now look where they both are. And I still don't agree bronny should be drafter
Didn’t realize the kid was still trying to get in the NBA.
Gelo Ball Got A Better Shot 😂
I love when people say he "hit the genetic lottery". No he didn't. His father hit the genetic lottery. That doesn't mean shit for his son. Just because you're dad is a nasty athlete, does not mean you will be. He is short, he isn't that fast, can't shoot, and is hella skinny. That is not "hitting the genetic lottery"
Wade Jr, Shaq Jr, Pippen Jr, and probably Lebron Jr were all hype.
These NBA dads keep using their stroke to get their kids into the best highschool programmes and it always goes against them. If you’re a 5 star recruit then by all means a place like Sierra Canyon is the dream. But sitting on the bench there will never be as good for your development as having your own team in a smaller programme and playing every game as the guy. Do that for your first couple years of HS and then go to a big school after you’ve proved yourself. Bronny sat on the bench for years in highschool and it never did him any favours.
My bad been saying this for years
I agree with that, though it’s way too early to tell how Bronny will end up. His next year in college will help tremendously in that area. He’ll also be more of the man without the elite teammates his has, one he’s been playing behind most of the year.
But I definitely agree & been preaching this for years. In the development years if you can go be in the man , do it. He should have left him at the regular high school. It takes time & sometimes never to catch up to the amount of reps you’ll get at everything if you’re on of the two top guys on a high school team.
So many kids, not just nba players kids , send their kids to these places thinking about the exposure. I tell every parent sure but they all need a bench. They tell you you’ll compete sure but it’s going to be someone who sits, I’d rather be somewhere showcasing my talents why being allowed to play my game.
@@Supreme36074 Everyone has such forced optimism for Bronny when the truth is so clear.
@@djpmaddog90 the truth is he has never been good!
Bronny is way behind on his development. And you pinpointed the exact cause - he's never had to be THE GUY. Two years starting at a school Chreighton, Xavier, Butler, Virginia, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech, Texas Tech, or the University of Miami is really what he needed. Instead he stayed home close to mommy and daddy. 🚩🚩🚩🚩
Sons of nba players just don’t want it enough. They don’t love the game fr
This is what happened to Shaqir O’Neal. He grew up with a lifestyle most kids dream of… lost the drive to hoop and get better because Dad made them comfortable
He was not talented enough.
@@XoeCoxtalent doesn’t mean shit when you don’t have a work ethic and an envy for hard work… talent won’t carry you in life whatever the aspect
@@scodboiihottboi2674you didn't even respond properly to him LOL
Dude had no chance. He couldn’t beat his own younger brother before or after the sex change to being his sister.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oof!
Please tell me that was a joke because if that's true, the kid had no chance.
GawdDAYUM 😳🤭
😂😂😂😂
This is bout to be Bronnys story.
Idk bout that
Yup. Except he's gonna just suck in college for a few years and then be gone.
Bronny is much better player. I don't see this lottery stuff. But there are lots of average players on NBA benches. Bronny might be good enough to do that, especially with his connections. But this hating on Dad because he's using his influence is hilarious. Happens in business all the time. The coaching cronyism/nepotism is really tight-knit.
@@randallmadison9910LeBron saying his son is already better than lots of guys in the league and could help the Lakers now is the reason ppl go after him. Bonny isn't an NBA player yet. Maybe after 3 or 4 years of college. His little brother is the real talent between the 2.
@chadwhitfield6946 LeBron could care less what detractors say about him. He and Carter Maverick yield a lot of power in the NBA, and they're using it. Any dad would. Obama girls getting prime writing jobs on shows with no experience. Hunter Biden getting deals. Jared Kushner getting deals. Jim Irsay running the Colts. Bush daughter being on morning TV. Murdoch kids taking over operations of the media empire.Bronny being on an NBA team. This is how the world works.
Zaire: Has the motor but not enough talent
Bronny: Has the talent but the motor isn’t there.
They are both undersized. Nothing can change that.
@@andyleo8418look at rob dillingham or Elliot cadeau or Jared McCain… they are all undersized but jeez trust me hard work pays off
I blame D-Wade for trying to skip steps on Zaire development
You'll be making a video somewhat similar to this on Bronny as well!
That video from a few years ago, where Zaire was playing pickup with a then-pink-haired DWade, made it obvious that Zaire didn't have what it takes. Limited talent + constant whining. This nepo bsby took that G League draft spot, when at least 200 guys were more deserving.....
DePaul and Nebraska are mid majors?
Looks more like Pat Beverley than D Wade. It's clear that the talent and drive isn't there... and that's fine. Hopefully he finds his lane.
D Wade needs to focus on his son breaking Women’s records.
He put his focus on his other kids
Bro did a Dave Chapelle and went to Africa 😂
Hopefully he comes back cultured and can influence his family for the better.
He’s still a professional at the end of the day. Not everybody is good enough to be a professional.
Going to the g league after high school was a wild for Zaire
Plan not working well with his other son either 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Excuse me Sir! I believed you misgendered bro’s son 😂
He should try playing for the Sioux Falls Skyforce, if the heat’s g-league to two way player pipeline can’t save him then it might be over
Great video but the editing with the blurry effect is really distracting.
Agreed, thanks for the feedback
I think a lot of ppl don’t realize how hard it actually is to make one of these teams
I legit couldn't understand how people thought he would be an NBA prospect when he was in HS. His game was slow and the hitch in his shot makes it hard for him to get off when a defender is too close. D Wade didn't do him any favors by putting the spotlight on him.

Hope he brings recognition to their league
I feel like some of these kids should have tried football too
Kid flash just couldn’t cut it
That’s why wade is tough on him when they train together. I don’t think he works hard enough
Doesn't matter if he works hard, he's tiny, basketball is a grown man sport
I forgot about him years ago
I forgot about this mf
At least he didn’t cut off his member
the art work brought me here.
Should be a rule that if you go to the Gleague straight out of high school and you don’t get called up, if you decide you want to go to college within that first year you can go and still be eligible. Players’ NIL deals are more than g league salaries, so it’s not like they would be benefiting financially more in the Gleague.
Would be of zero interest to the NCAA.
Why would they allow a kid to go GLeague and come back if it doesn't work? That's just opening the door for a talent drain.
@@mzakaria10 who knows if it would benefit the NCAA or not? If that player was a strong recruit out of high school and decided to go to the Gleague and it didn’t work out, if they were allowed to to come back maybe they would be good in a college program which would be good for the NCAA. One thing it doesn’t hurt the NCAA. Same recruiting process would exist and maybe the player doesn’t find a college team. Then that’s the cost of doing business. But it wouldn’t hurt the NCAA to do it.
Imagine if him and bonny switched dad's. Nobody would be talking about bonny and we would hear about this kid all day on espn..
If he would have played 4 years in college and developed maybe he would have had an outside shot. Skipping college ball was a mistake.
Dude had a super senior year IN HIGH SCHOOL LMAOOOOO
Shit I think Wad was spending more time with his daughter 😂😂
You can’t live life as the son of a wealthy NBA LEGEND, and also inherit the talents of one. God won’t allow that. 🤷🏿♂️
At 22yo the only chance he has at the NBA is his father.
Melo said it best. It’s hard to make it the league and stay in the league. He isn’t taking any shortcuts. Working on fundamentals is key.
It is awesome when someone’s son succeeds . Gary Paytons son for example. Zaire might get to the next level. Its more mental at this point.
Listen to me now, believe me later on...If your dad is an NBA legend/top 75 player. Pick another sport!! The pressure, spotlight, and expectations will be too much and your dad will probably overshadow you. The nepotism will not allow you develop correctly, cause no youth coach is going to tell you truth because of who your dad is. Use them resources your dad has and be a futbol/baseball player were you can develop under the radar.
It was a series of unfortunate poor decisions. The poor decisions were made bc DWade believed his son belonged in the league instead of having the mindset that he was a long-shot. His son had talent but not the right mindset for success. This was the best time to be a Nepo Baby in college basketball. He could’ve made millions off of his name while getting 4 years to showcase his talent and developmental progress.
Thought this was a pat bev documentary lol jkjk
Genetic lottery? 😂😂
His dad is definitely bi, and his brother is his sister.. I'd pass on that lottery everyday!
The trash talk about his family broke him some time ago.
I partly blame his dad and there dysfunctional family for bro fall off
You crazy as hell
@@daquanhartman9101 I’m not they were focused to much on they gay son fr fr and not focusing on developing Zaire to get to the next level
@@bengrant9316y'all just get on the internet and just yap Zaire just not good
Hmm it on zaire, he could went to the college and make some plays. But he made a bad choice for going to the g league.
So you're telling me that kids who want to develop their brand before their game doesn't work? I am shocked.
I don’t understand why wealthy kids would try to rush the process and not take full advantage of the college system..development and traction. Maybe it’s the pressure to live up to their dad’s name but dad went to college and earned his keep. Either way he’s set for life.
I thought Wade's son had a bright future in the WNBA
That's the other one 😂
Swish county is the goat
He/she/they can always try out of the WNBA
He should have been taught ‘bout dem ‘roids!! #daddystash
Good things he's got another son... Oh wait. Never mind.
He still does.
😮😮😮😮😂😂😂😂

@@canismkit666if you want to call it that
His dad was everything you said he was goin to Marquette Dwade had to build to what he became I agree Z Wade shoulda went to college n develop especially Nebraska they was on him the whole time js
From the outside looking in, he doesn’t seem to have the hunger
Title said D-Wade is failing his son I thought they met his daughter who D-Wade really failed ✂️✂️✂️✂️ ✂️
You can have all of the advantages in the world but if you don’t have the hunger and desire you won’t reach that upper echelon.
that's too much pressure
This is teaching us that even with world-class coaching, diet, strength and conditioning, you still need more to get into the NBA.
You have to have the intangibles such as being obsessed with the game, great basketball IQ and emotional resilience.
Not everyone is built for the NBA.
Should've made this video like 3 years ago
Looked like a Marcus Jordan outcome. Bryce looks to have promise. Seems like things are just easier on the kid if they also get the height advantage as well as the perks from the fathers prior career.😎
Bryce average like 5 points a game & just started playing varsity as a junior
@@1Eashawty Thanks for that stat. At least he's 6'6" and has time. He should turn out serviceable one day.Looks like he'll go to college and learn defense.😎
Everybody trying to make it so bad they skip steps. Not everybody can skip steps, and all our stories not the same. Going to College could be the deciding factor. You get 4 years to develop and a free education. If it don't workout at least you have a degree. But a lot of these parents could careless about education.
Tough for kids to have this light so young. Most of the time they crumble at some point under the pressure.
Zaire would destroy the Michael Jordan era gym teachers and plumbers bums.
Should’ve took the college route , that shortcut he took was his downfall and it showed ! 💯🤷🏾♂️
his friend devin carter just got drafted in the lottery meanwhile he is rotting away
Dwayne Wade has another Son, Right? Never mind, that one is aiming for the WNBA.
Look at mj, lbj, and Wade...their kids are significantly smaller than their dads. God usually won't bless you twice.
I play in the same league as him in south africa
His dad focused more on his lil sister transformation
His brother will make the league
Looks like a young Pat Bev(I know you've been playing "Who does he look like?" in your head. You're welcome)
No one asked the question and we all know he looks like Pat Bev. Get it over yourself lmao
He is still young. Has alot of talent. Maybe getting away from his dad and the distractions in this country will help him. He doesn't have to be his dad.
Cayenne is coming, without the media hype
This game is hard, and just because your dad was one of the greatest doesn't make it easier for you. Think of all the great players who played in the NBA, and try and name any of them who had a son even make it to the league, its hard forget trying to name a star.
Steph curry
Wouldn’t it be crazy if Zaya was the next basketball star sadly we will never know
Hard to be motivated in silk boxers 😂
DWade took shots at SC coach way before KMart did. Seems to have been a problem.
He should have taken that Scholarship offer from South Carolina.
I don’t understand how these NBA greats kids don’t be as successful as their parents! I’ll be in the lab 25/8 if my pops was Dwade or Bron smh
That’s the problem Brother they are not hungry they are not motivated disciplined they are they are not hardworking enough building talent, they are just not made to play ball frl that’s it
I went to a Blazers game last year and heckled the rookie Shaedon Sharpe whenever he lost his handles - "you would have learned to dribble in college!" Sharpe will be a good player, but Zaire should have gone to school. With the transfer portal he could have worked his way up from Nebraska to a better known program. Lack of humility just dooms some guys I guess...
Used to think he was Pat Bev son
