Dwyane Wade might be a little busy right now with that whole NBA finals thing, but with yesterday being father’s day, his family wanted to make sure that it was noted during the playoffs how great of a dad he is by rocking customize shirts to game three of the NBA finals against the Thunder.
As a matter of fact, DWade’s memoir, which focuses on the topic, will be released this September.
In A FATHER FIRST: How My Life Became Bigger than Basketball, Dwyane Wade shares insights on his life both on and off the court with a large focus on fatherhood. Detailing his personal experiences as a parent, and tracing his transformation from being the child of a single parent to now serving as one himself. Wade won custody of his two sons, Zaire and Zion in 2011. He also cares for a nephew. The book hits shelves September 4, 2012.
