In this heartfelt episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade sits down with his father, Dwyane Wade Sr. and Bob for an honest father-and-son talk about love, legacy, and growth.

 

They reflect on their tough beginnings in Chicago, moments of conflict, and the journey from chaos to connection. Dwyane Jr. shares how his father’s discipline and tough love shaped his success, while Dwyane Sr. opens up about his past mistakes and pride in seeing his son thrive.

 

The two also discuss health and manhood—urging Black men to take their wellbeing seriously after Dwyane Sr.’s battle with cancer—and laugh over family stories, marriage lessons, and their striking resemblance.

 

At its core, it’s a raw and redemptive conversation between a father and son who fought hard to rebuild their bond.
