Dwyane Wade’s baby daughter is playing basketball, too. And it was all caught on video

This could be one of the cutest things we’ve seen in quarantine.

Kaavia James is learning how to play basketball. Wait, she kind of already knows how.

The toddler, who turns 2 in November, has a great coach. That would be her famous dad, Dwyane Wade.

Mom Gabrielle Union posted a video of Kaav moving on up to the toy hoop, and deftly dunking the ball. The child then walks over behind the play court to retrieve the ball.

“You’re going to get your own rebound?” the actress asks off camera. Kaavia surveys the hoop, which is about a foot away, then decides against making a move, tosses the ball down and walks out of frame.

The caption: “There is no ‘I’ in team. I should not have to get my own rebound. Game and story, over.”

In the comments section, Wade threw up some laughing face emojis.

During the former Miami Heat player’s career, the legendary shooting guard pulled off 4,933 rebounds. So the so-called Shady Baby has a ways to go.

Wade’s oldest child, Zaire Wade, is well on the way, however. The 18-year-old plays for Brewster Academy in Wolfesboro, New Hampshire.
