Dwayne Wade will be the first Heat player in franchise history to be honored with a statue by Miami Heat.
Dwyane Wade was a 3-time NBA champion with the Heat during his NBA career.
Dwyane Wade’s statue’s announcement was first made in January 2024. At last, it’s here, and it will be unveiled on October 27 in front of the Kaseya Center.
“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 a statement in January. “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.”
The Wade statue was made by Oscar León and Omri Amrany of Fine Art Studio Rotblatt Amrany.
Amrany’s works of retired NBA stars include the iconic “Michael Jordan Spirit” in Chicago as well as statues of Shaquille O’Neal, Dirk Nowitzki and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar among many others.
Wade was drafted by the Heat in 2003 and was named to the All-Rookie team. He was a 13-time All-Star and led the Heat to their first NBA title in 2006, winning the Finals MVP.
He led the Heat to back-to-back championships in 2012 and 2013 after teaming up with Chris Bosh and LeBron James in 2010.
