The Miami Heat will erect a statue for Dwyane Wade

First player in the history of Miami Heat who will be honored with a statue will become the Dwyane Wade in a ceremony that will take place in the fall.

The night of January 14 was a celebration for the Miami Heat who wanted to dedicate it to “Flash” for his entrance into the Hall of Fame.

At halftime of the game against the Hornets, Wade took a seat at center court for a short interview with Jason Jackson.

The Heath radio voice then introduced the president, Pat Rileywho appeared with a bobblehead figure of Wade in hand telling him that they plan to set up 2-meter, 43-centimeter-tall statue of his grace outside the Kaseya Center.
