Dwyane Wade gave his dad an absolutely incredible tribute in his Basketball Hall of Fame induction speech

Dwyane Wade Basketball NBA

Dwyane Wade will always be known as one of the best-ever to play professional basketball in the NBA.

Now, he’ll also have one of the all-time Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame speeches to go with his NBA honors.

As Wade was being inducted into the Hall of Fame after his incredible career in the NBA, he paid tribute to his father, Dwyane Wade Sr., and all the support that he gave his son as he was making his basketball dreams come true.

Wade’s tribute to his dad might be one of the coolest moments we’ve ever seen in a ceremony like this, with the absolutely perfect memories and words of immense gratitude concluding with the elder Wade joining his son on the stage to celebrate a lifetime achievement.

Wade’s speech probably didn’t leave a dry eye in the auditorium, and it’s easy to see why. This was a remarkable moment that stands as a strong testament to the power of positive parenting, and how that bond can make incredible moments like this possible.

You can check out Wade’s full induction speech below.

NBA fans were blown away by Wade's speech.
