Know what we don't hear enough about? Athletes who actually want to be a part of their kids' lives as opposed to athletes who are forced to be a part of their kids' lives. Enter Dwayne Wade. After months of battling for custody of his two sons with his ex-wife, D-Wade was granted custody of his kids Friday and announced it to his teammates before the Heat's blowout victory over the Grizzlies Saturday night. "Mentally, I've been preparing for it for over a year now," he said shortly afterwards. "For me, it shows a lot of people that you need to be in your kids' lives sometimes. You fight until you can't fight anymore. That's all I was trying to be—a father in his kids' lives." Ayo: You hear that, Cro!? [via SI]
