Dwyane Wade was one of many personalities who were in awe of LeBron James' performance in Team USA's win over Serbia on Sunday. However, former NFL star Antonio Brown was not having any of Wade's celebration and took a shot at the Miami Heat legend.

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Wade proclaimed that James is "HIM" after putting up 21 points, seven rebounds and nine assists in their 110-84 victory. Brown got wind of the post and went out of his way to call out the Hall of Famer for using pronouns.

"Now do your sons pronouns #CTESPN," Brown wrote.

While some fans will defend Antonio Brown due to their views, the former star wide receiver was clearly taking a shot at Dwyane Wade and his transgender daughter Zaya. Wade has taken a lot of heat from conservative fans, but it's one of the reasons why he left Florida and moved to California.

The 42-year-old father of four was just doing his best to help his daughter feel welcome and Florida doesn't have the best track record on LGBTQ policies, unlike in California.

"That's another reason why I don't live in that state. A lot of people don't know that. I have to make decisions for my family, not just personal, individual decisions. I mean, obviously, the tax (situation)is great. Having Wade County is great. But my family would not be accepted or feel comfortable there. And so that's one of the reasons why I don't live there," Wade said last year. [H/T People Magazine]

As for Antonio Brown, he's always been controversial and continues to stir the pot on social media whenever he can. He has turned the CTE jokes into a "brand" since he always put "CTESPN" in most of his tweets.

Just like most NBA players who became fathers, Dwyane Wade wanted his kids to play basketball when they grew up. Wade had two kids with his high school sweetheart and ex-wife, Zaire and Zion. Zaire turned pro although he did not make it to the NBA.

On the other hand, Zion came out as transgender when she was 12 years old and changed her name to Zaya. Wade initially wanted her to become a basketball player but had to let go of those dreams because he wanted what was best for his daughter.

"I have Zaya. LeBron (James) has Bryce. Melo (Anthony) has Kiyan. All within a 2-3 week span. All our kids gonna grow up hooping together. 'Oh, we on! Boy, we gonna have 3 babies! We on!'" Wade recalled on 'Club Shay Shay.' [H/T People Magazine]
