As mentioned, the Heat, upon returning from Charlotte, will honor Wade with an unveiled statue on Sunday evening. Wade, who was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame last year, remains the face of Miami Heat basketball despite retiring in 2019.

The Heat honored Dwyane Wade with a statue outside the Kaseya Center in Miami on Sunday. Here's what you need to know.

You forgot why the statue is actually here,’ Zoltan Lipscei said. ‘Either celebrate and congratulate or shut up.’

Dwyane Wade threw a James Bond-themed invite-only epic party at Queen Miami Beach on October 26 — appropriately called “003 Statues Are Forever” party — to unveil his statue, which will now live forever outside of the arena he won three championships in.

Dwyane Wade left the Heat in 2016 because he didn't feel the franchise was giving him the respect he deserved.

NBA All-Star Dwyane Wade spent most of his NBA career with the Miami Heat and earned three championships with it. Recently, outside the Kaseya Center, the Heat unveiled a statue in Wade’s honor. He also became one of only six Heat players to have his jersey retired by the team.
