Miami Heat honors 3-time NBA champion Dwyane Wade with statue at arena

The Miami Heat welcomed Dwyane Wade back to the Kaseya Center to officially cement his legacy with a statue unveiling on Sunday.

Wade spent 15 seasons in Miami and led his team to three NBA championships (2006, 2012 and 2013).

The 42-year-old watched as the crowd counted down and the panels slid away from his statue that sits outside the arena.

‘This is nothing I ever thought I’d experience,’ Wade told the crowd during the ceremony. ‘I didn’t play for this. I didn’t pick up the basketball for this. I picked up a basketball to change my family’s life.’

The 13-time NBA All-Star started 909 of the 1,054 games he played and scored 23,165 points while averaging .480 from the field during his decorated career.
