Dwyane Wade first became a father as a redshirt freshman at Marquette University.

With his son, Zaire, to turn 5 in February, the hope is next summer will see the birth of another baby.

"I'm ready to have another baby," he said. "And if that comes, it will come over the summer."

"It's something nobody in my family has ever done, plan for it like this," he said. "I'm really ready. My son is about to be 5 years old. He's grown up and I think it's time to extend my family."
