Father-son duos are often seen as an anomaly in sports, especially at the professional level.
It is extremely unlikely for anyone to play a professional sport, much less to have two elite athletes from the same family.
However, there are two NBA stars, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, whose children appear to be cut from the same cloth.
James’ son, Bronny, and Wade’s son Zaire were both viewed as two of the top upcoming young prospects.
In a recent video shared via ClutchPoints, Wade and his son were seen together in Hong Kong linking up for an epic alley-oop.

While Zaire was highly touted during his high school days, injuries have kept him from reaching his potential.
He was drafted by Salt Lake City’s G League team in 2021, appearing in just 12 games.
Zaire was recently signed by the Cape Town Tigers, an organization of the Basketball Africa League.
The BAL is a newer organization that began play in 2021.
Zaire is now one of the most well-known names in the league, especially given who his father is.
Whether he’ll eventually make it back to the NBA remains to be seen.
This stint in the BAL could be an opportunity for Zaire to get back to full health with the potential for him to realize his dream as an NBA superstar.
The above video demonstrates that, while he has a history of injuries, he still has plenty of bounce left.
He has big shoes to fill, especially given his father’s recent acceptance into the NBA Hall of Fame.
