Former NBA star Dwyane Wade was booed and had transphobic comments hurled at him as he left the Knicks game against the Miami Heat with wife Gabrielle Union.
The 41-year-old, who played for the Heat for 16 years, was at Madison Square Garden Sunday to watch his former team rout the hosts.
However, the retired, three-time NBA championship winner, who is the father of 15-year-old transgender model Zaya, faced homophobic jeers as he left the game.
In a clip provided to DailyMail.com by Adam Glyn, who filmed the incident, Wade can be seen following his wife Gabrielle towards a car.
Some of the sports fans gathered outside the arena began to boo the former shooting guard, with one shouting, 'You mutilated your son,' at Wade in reference to Zaya.
Zaya legally changed her name and gender in February after coming out as trans aged 12, following a court battle between Wade and his ex-wife, Siohvaughn Funches-Wade.
A Los Angeles County judge signed off on the new identity for Dwyane's 15-year-old child in documents obtained by TMZ.
The judge also granted her official gender change from male to female. The petition for the name and gender was filed last August. Last November, Zaya's mother contested the petition made by Wade, claiming that their child was being pressured financially to make the decision.
Recently, the NBA legend revealed that he and his family left Florida due to what he claims are restrictive policies that infringe on the rights of LGBTQ people.
He has spoken about the need to accept and embrace people for who they are, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation and his advocacy for the LGBTQ community has earned him widespread praise and admiration.

The Daily Mail (and everyone else) needs to stop calling the son “her”. It just makes the problem worse.
The poor confused boy’s mother must be devastated as well.
People are fed up with the forced participation.
“ Last November, Zaya’s mother contested the petition made by Wade, claiming that their child was being pressured financially to make the decision. ”
It’s not ‘phobic’ to speak truth to child abusers.
Are Dee Snider and Paul Stanley homo or transphobic for not believing gender transitions should be performed on kids?
Can the media stop with the *transphobic* label?? We aren’t afraid of “transgender” people. What we want is for them to accept their real bodies, their real DNA. We want for the GROOMERS to stop confusing our kids.
I hate the way they have changed what words mean. And if I try to figure out where the confusion comes from, it’s always one place. Satan is the master of confusion.
Lord, please help us!
Oh no…not jeers
The truth hurts.
Wow, on NYC.
Why should people pretend the insane are sane?
coming out as trans aged 12
Is that when he began pimping out his son to his pervert team mates?
The court should’ve never taken custody away from the biological mother.
A judge gave this wealthy, powerful athlete full custody of their children.
The biological mother wasn’t unfit. She was accused of trying to “alienate the children” from their father.
So, the court gave him full custody: https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/chicago-court-awards-wade-custody-of-two-sons/
Now, he and his wealthy, powerful second wife are “transitioning” this boy.
The biological mother fought in court to stop them, but a judge ruled in favor of the rich and powerful athlete/actress couple again.
Good for the hecklers.
Zaya isn’t the child of Gabrielle Union, even though they portray it that was. Zaya’s mother didn’t agree with the transgendering, so she got kicked to the curb.
First, they took custody away from the biological mom.
Now, they’re ruining this boy’s life.
ONE person said something and had someone film it so it would go viral. Not newsworthy since it’s just a punk who wants to be famous.
