“I don’t know all the guys who haven’t won the MVP, so I’m gonna go with myself”: When Dwyane Wade had an amusing reason to pick himself as the best player to never win the MVP

Zaire Wade says that he didn’t want to see his father Dwyane Wade’s rather suggestive Instagram post on his 39^th birthday.

Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade has been living it up ever since his retirement in the 2018-19 NBA season. He recorded a triple double in his last career game against the Brooklyn Nets, where his 10^th assist was to long-time teammate Udonis Haslem.

Since then, Dwyane Wade has been extremely active on social media, showing off what it’s like to be a retired NBA legend. He takes to Instagram and Twitter on the regular to take about the current scene in the NBA, while also flaunting his lifestyle.

In order to celebrate his 39^th birthday, Dwyane Wade and his wife Gabrielle Union took a trip to Jamaica, away from Zaire Wade and the kids.

It seems as though Dwyane and Union got carried away with showing off their celebrations and ended up posting quite a risqué picture on Instagram. The picture was of the 3x champion in his birthday suit alongside Gabrille Union.

Union placed herself quite strategically so as to cover up anything that would violate any of Instagram’s rules. Zaire Wade didn’t seem to be a fan of his dad’s latest post and commented underneath it saying, “This isn’t what I wanted to wake up to.”

His sister Zaya Wade also took to the comments to relay her emotions on the post. She said, “Ayooo chill, I just got on Instagram.”

Multiple NBA players sounded off in the comment section voicing their opinions on Dwyane Wade’s racy post. Damian Lillard said, “aye come on,” while others such as Paul George spammed the comments with laughing emojis.
