The Miami Heat recently announced plans to honor Dwyane Wade with a statue outside the Kaseya Center, set to be unveiled on October 27, 2024. Wade, a three-time NBA champion and considered one of the greatest players in Heat history, is the first player from the franchise to receive such recognition. LeBron James, Wade's former teammate, celebrated the news on social media, expressing admiration for Wade's contributions to the team. Pundits have also started discussing Wade's legacy, with some noting his lack of a league MVP award despite his accolades. ESPN's Chiney Ogwumike named Wade among the top shooting guards, while other analysts debated MVP snubs, including picks like Kawhi Leonard. The Heat will also host a 'Dwyane Wade Statue Night' on October 28, coinciding with a game against the Detroit Pistons.
