Athletes Who Inspire Dad Goals: LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Cristiano Ronaldo And David Beckham

These athletes exemplify the essence of dad goals, showcasing their love, support, and dedication to their families.

In the world of sports, we often hear about the accomplishments and talents of athletes. However, remember that these athletes are also humans, juggling their demanding schedules with the responsibilities of being a parent.

From LeBron James' dedication to his sons to Dwyane Wade's open support for his family, Cristiano Ronaldo's transition into a loving father and Russell Wilson's commitment to his children and community, these athletes exemplify what it means to be a great dad.

LeBron James

Balancing career and fatherhood, LeBron James, a renowned basketball player, has been in the spotlight for his skills on the court and his devotion to his family. Despite his demanding NBA (National Basketball Association) career, LeBron has tried to spend quality time with his sons and support them in their endeavors. His influence on and off the court has shaped his sons' athletic careers, and LeBron's goal is to play alongside both his sons in the NBA one day.

Dwyane Wade

Leading with Love, Dwyane Wade, a retired NBA player, has been an exceptional father figure to his children and nephew. Through his foundation and personal experiences, Wade advocates for leading with love and being there for his kids. He has been open about challenges, such as infertility and his daughter's gender transition, demonstrating the importance of support and understanding within a family.

Cristiano Ronaldo

From a soccer legend to a cover model to a loving dad Cristiano Ronaldo is known for his extraordinary skills and being a devoted father. Despite his glamorous lifestyle, Ronaldo has shown a softer side as a parent. His journey, including losing a child, has reinforced his commitment to his kids and brought out his human side.

David Beckham

The global soccer sensation has been in the headlines lately with his MLS (Major League Soccer) team, Inter Miami, signing soccer's best, Lionel Messi. Beckham moved his family to the U.S. at the end of his playing career, and his children and wife, Victoria Beckham's businesses, have continued to soar. Son Brooklyn, a chef, was recently married to American actress Nicole Peltz. And son Romeo is following in his father's footsteps playing on the Brentford F.C. under-21 team.

Russell Wilson

Embracing fatherhood and community, Russell Wilson, the quarterback for the Denver Broncos, has shown his dedication to fatherhood through his involvement with his children and stepchild. Wilson's efforts in the community, especially in children's hospitals, have showcased his compassion and support for those in need. Although he faced challenges with his charitable foundation, Wilson's commitment to being a role model for his children remains strong.

The Best Halloween Costumes From Your Favorite Athletes

They’re in it to win it.

These athletes bring their A-game in their respective sports but also when it comes to Halloween costumes.

LeBron James as Edward Scissorhands

Even before he had access to some of the world’s best makeup artists in Los Angeles, King James brought it on Halloween. In addition to Edward Scissorhands, he’s been hockey-mask wearing Jason and scary clown, Pennywise.

Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union

The power couple dressed up as the notorious lip-syncing Grammy award-winning duo Milli Vanilli. (The actual duo was stripped of their Grammy).

She posted a Twitter video of the two in costume titled “lost rehearsal footage of Milli Vanilli.”

Dwayne Johnson as Popeye

“The Rock” dressing up as Popeye seems like a no-brainer. Our favorite costume involving Dwayne Johnson might be when his “Jumanji” co-star Kevin Hart dressed up in the now famous 90s look of Johnson in a black turtleneck, gold chain, jeans and a fanny pack.

Tom Brady as a Stormtrooper

While he may follow a strict diet, Tom Brady doesn’t limit his fun when it comes to Halloween costumes. He has dressed up as avocado toast (a couples costume with his wife Gisele) and Bigfoot.

Russell Wilson and Ciara as Busta Rhymes and Janet Jackson

The duo loves to channel musicians for Halloween. Their Jay-Z and Beyonce costumes (above) were clutch but they really went all out with the 90s favorites Busta Rhymes and Janet Jackson. We don’t know about Wilson but Ciara certainly has the voice to go along with the costume.

What You Need To Know About Sports Most Fashionable Night - The ESPYs

Athletes ditch their uniforms for couture this Wednesday, July 20.

The ESPYs are like the Golden Globes – you get the best of both worlds. It's the one night of the year when athletes and celebrities gather to celebrate their achievements in the world of sports while giving us the summer red carpet we've all been missing.

Here for the championship-level fashion,

The Last Night's Game Team

1. Typically, the awards show takes place on a Wednesday in July after the MLB (Major League Baseball) All-Star Game, referred to as "Black Wednesday." That's the one day a year where there are no live sports, although as sports have evolved over the year, that's not entirely true, but close. There is one morning WNBA game on the day of the ESPYs, Wednesday, July 20, but all other major professional sports are off. SO CLOSE

2. Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors (NBA - National Basketball Association) is the host of this year's ESPYs in Los Angeles. Presenters include Lindsey Vonn, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Jon Hamm, Ciara and Billie Jean King.

3. The list of nominees includes household names like Olympic swimmer Katie Ledecky, NFL (National Football League) quarterback Joe Burrow, Olympic figure skater Nathan Chen, MLB (Major League Baseball) star Aaron Judge, WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) star Candace Parker, Olympic track and field veteran Allyson Felix and international soccer superstar Kylian Mbappé, among many others. After upsetting fans by not inviting best college player nominee Aliyah Boston to the event (and others), ESPN said the new, smaller venue and COVID-19 healthy restrictions impacted invites, which only went out to the athletes who will receive awards during the main broadcast. BIG NIGHT OUT

4. Although the ESPYs are always hosted by ESPN, the name actually stands for Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Award. Unlike the Oscars, where you've never heard of most of the movies, the fans get a say in who receives some of the awards like the best athlete in women's sports, best game and best team. EVERY VOTE COUNTS

5. ESPN can put together a video package that'll pull at your heartstrings while leaving you inspired, and the awards at the ESPYs are no different. Here's a quick summary of each of the major awards:

The Jimmy V Award for Perseverance will go to Dick Vitale, the ESPN college basketball broadcaster now recovering from cancer.
The Arthur Ashe Courage Award will go to Vitali Klitschko, former boxing champ and currently mayor of Kyiv, Ukraine's embattled capital city. (Also ex of actress Hayden Panettiere).
The 2022 Pat Tillman Award for Service will be presented to author, athlete, and retired Army Command Sergeant Major Gretchen Evans.
