Scientists say our brains are wired differently based on our life experiences. If you take one look at Russell Wilson, you’ll see that theory in action. One moment, he’s promoting his wife Ciara’s new album; the next, he’s playing with his children. Then he’s praising his teammates and friends, supporting them in both their professional and personal lives. A player, father, husband, friend, and teammate—the NY Giants QB wears every hat flawlessly. That’s just his style. Boy, oh boy, he rarely misses an opportunity to leave a mark.
On April 18, he shared videos from the Brooklyn Nets facility. But the NFL star wasn’t alone—his eldest son, Future Zahir, Ciara’s son from her previous relationship with rapper Future, was right there with him, taking shots at the net. Russell Wilson stood proudly, watching his son put in the work. Now that’s a meaningful way to celebrate Good Friday.
He captioned the video perfectly: “Best time on a GOOD Friday! Post-workout fun with Future! Grateful for moments like these! @BrooklynNets.” Future also impressed with his basketball skills, dribbling confidently across the court before taking his shot.

What makes it even more special is the strong father-son bond. The NFL star has always treated his children like royalty—his little prince and princesses. Indeed, he never feels overwhelmed managing four kids. In fact, he lovingly calls it “non-stop entertainment.” That’s just sweet.
It’s this warmth that makes their family a fan favorite. People eagerly wait for every little glimpse into their lives. Just a few days ago, Ciara was celebrating the success of her new album Ecstasy in Times Square. Now, it’s the father-son duo lighting up the Nets facility. In ‘Mr. Unlimited,’ 10-year-old Future has found not just a father, but a mentor—someone who’s weathered the highest highs and the lowest lows. It was a moment that touched fans deeply, prompting an outpouring of love and admiration.
