The
Miami
Heat
have
revealed
that
Dwyane
Wade
will
be
honored
with
a
statue
outside
their
home
arena.
In
2019,
Dwyane
Wade
retired
from
the
NBA
after
a
very
successful
16
seasons.
During
the
span
of
his
career,
Wade
won
three
rings
and
played
a
very
pivotal
part
in
half
of
LeBron
James’
championship
wins.
Since
his
retirement,
the
Heat
retired
his
No.
3
jersey
and
have
more
in
store
to
honor
the
legend.
According
to
NBA.com,
the
Miami
Heat
will
honor
him
with
a
statue
placed
outside
the
team’s
home
area,
Kaseya
Center.

The
news
was
revealed
Sunday,
Jan.
14
when
the
Heat
honored
Wade
for
being
inducted
into
the
Naismith
Memorial
Basketball
Hall
of
Fame.
After
an
illustrious
career,
the
only
thing
left
to
accomplish
was
his
statue
and
this
upcoming
fall,
the
13-time
All-Star
will
be
able
to
check
that
off
the
list.
“When
we
retired
his
jersey
in
February
2020,
I
said
Dwyane
was
the
face
of
this
franchise forever and
I
meant
it,”
HEAT
President
Pat
Riley
said
in
an
official
statement.
“Dwyane’s
legacy
is
a
towering
one
not
only
for
the
Miami
HEAT
but
for
Miami-Wade
County.
I
can’t
think
of
a
better
way
to
honor
him
than
by
memorializing
that
legacy.”
Perhaps
in
the
future,
LeBron
will
join
him
with
a
statue
outside
the
arena
as
well.
The
date
for
the
unveiling
will
be
revealed
at
a
later
date,
but
we
can
expect
former
and
current
stars
of
the
NBA
to
show
up
for
Dwyane’s
big
night.
