Former Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade got destroyed online after wishing one of his children a happy birthday this week.

Zaya Wade turned 17 on Wednesday, and the three-time NBA champion took to Instagram to deliver birthday wishes.

Zaya, a transgender, has been the subject of lots of criticism over the years. However, it’s the older Wade who’s been catching heat for facilitating the change.

D-Wade posted some photos of Zaya to IG this week, captioning them “Seventeen🎉 @zayawade.”

While some fans loved the post, plenty of other did not.

“d wade was my favorite player on the heat for as long as i can remember but i lost all respect for you now,” a user wrote.

“That’s a young man Wade come on,” another fan said.

“Aye gang! I just unfollowed you! Be easy!” said another.

Someone commented, “We gotta stop normalizing this stuff.”

“D Wade I used to respect you,” said another.

“What kind of dad would do this to his kid,” another user wondered.

“The real bravery is leaving the comments on,” one joked.

A female fan who was shown on camera during the Knicks-76ers NBA playoff game on Thursday night has gone viral online.

The Knicks came up with the goods on the night, advancing to the second round of the playoffs with a 118-115 win over Philly. But a woman who popped up on screen while pinching her upper lip with 11.1 seconds on the clock is sort of making the headlines.

While her rating on the hot scale is being hotly debated, everyone agrees on her eyes.

The Knicks-76ers Game Did Not Go As Planned For Joel Embiid

As for the game itself, Sixers center Joel Embiid put himself out there with a guarantee his team would force a Game 7 and win the series. Despite his best efforts – 39 points and 13 rebounds – things didn’t work out the way he promised.

“It sucks to lose,” he said after the loss, per the New York Post. “The goal is to win a championship. Anytime that don’t happen, that’s all I care about. I don’t care if I got to the second round; that does not mean anything to me. 

“We just didn’t accomplish what we wanted to. And the thing is: We believe in ourselves so much that we believed that we actually could’ve won it. But everything didn’t go the way we wanted it to.”

Jalen Brunson led the Knicks in scoring with 41 points, 12 assists, and three rebounds, with Josh Hart adding 16 points and hitting a clutch long-distance shot in the dying moments to give New York a three-point lead.

“It felt great. We knew it was going to be a tough environment. A little tougher than last game because there was 2,500 seats that were taken up,” Hart said. “It was a tough place to play, but a place we’re all comfortable in.”
