It’s possible you remember Zaire Wade from an adorable picture he appeared in before he could even shoot a basketball. It was taken, in fact, before his father, Dwyane Wade, even played an NBA game.
Pat Riley, then the coach of the Miami Heat, is holding Zaire as the toddler tries to grab his father’s jersey on the day Dwyane, selected No. 5 overall, was presented to local media.
And while Zaire never quite left the public spotlight — his various playing exploits were covered throughout his youth (he’s now in the G League) — we’ve never gotten the behind-the-scenes look at his life that a new discovery+ docuseries, ‘Legacy: In the Shadow of Greatness,’ will offer.
Set to release on March 8, with new episodes appearing weekly, the six-part series also tells the story of high jumper Vashti Cunningham and her father, Randall, and boxer Evan Holyfied and his father, Evander.
The series is directed by Jonathan Hock, an 11-time Emmy Award winner who directed five ESPN 30 for 30 episodes.
For The Win got an exclusive early look at the trailer for the new series:
