However, the teenager’s heartfelt tribute did not sit well with many admirers of Kobe Bryant as they lashed out at Wade for bad parenting. In fact, Wade’s Lakers teammate Kwame Brown slammed Zaya’s tribute as “disrespectful” saying, “You are letting your woman control your house.”

Moreover, Brown did not hold back and on a YouTube show called Bust Life, he stated that Dwayne Wade should level up as a man. To be precise, he stated, “I’m not saying there’s anything against homosexuals, but [Kobe] is a heterosexual man. Why is he being honored by making his jersey into a dress? Wear his goddamn jersey for the day to honor him without the dress part.”
