What I love so much about this clip of Dwyane Wade playing his son, Zaire, is that it’s the quintessential game of 1-on-1 that has been played between any dad and any son in the history of time.
The dad uses his size advantage, posting up his child, getting easy buckets, while his kid frantically works harder and harder until slowly coming to the realization that this game, much like life, is unfair. Yelling ensues, etc. My own dad did this to me. Yours probably did as well.
It’s just in this version of the 1-on-1 game, one of the players is a top-20 NBA player of all time, and the other is a highly touted D-1 prospect. Watch, then please stick around for the end, and the trash talk.
D-Wade and Zaire were really going at it 💪 @brhoops

The trash talk at the end is truly the best part. Zaire yelling at his dad, maybe a top-three shooting guard in the history of the NBA, that he should try and do jump shots “and see what happens” is so perfect it warms me. He told Dwyane Wade to see what happens!
