Even before setting foot on an NBA court as a professional basketball player, Dwyane Wade’s son has already taken part in an ESPY award.

Zaire Wade’s reenactment of his father’s 2007 Converse commercial during Dwyane Wade’s final home game won the ESPY for Best Moment Wednesday night. The award was shared with the NFL’s Rob Gronkowski and American World Cup alpine ski racer Lindsey Vonn.

Dwyane Wade took the stage with Gronkowski and Vonn as they received the award and gave their respective speeches.

The three athletes were seen playfully fighting over the Best Moment trophy later.

Zaire Wade is following in his father’s footsteps as he dreams of playing in the NBA someday. The fact that he plays somewhat like the Miami Heat legend speaks volumes about his potential to make it to the league. Who knows? He might win an ESPY for Best Athlete someday as well.

He became a Heat fan the moment they acquired Tim Hardaway and his killer crossover, and lamented not seeing him and Alonzo Mourning win a championship. Seeing Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh play in Miami was a surreal moment for him and more so after they validated the Decision with back-to-back championships.
