It&#8217;s the artistic version of a moment that happened that we&#8217;re trying to cement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, while responding to the flurry of jokes and memes about the statue spreading on social media, Wade didn&#8217;t seem to mind becoming the object of the humor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI care, but I don&#8217;t. The social media world is about opinions. Everyone has an opinion. Everyone, use y&#8217;all opinions. Please talk more about us. Talk more about a statue, come on down to see it, take some photos, send some memes. We don&#8217;t care,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>During halftime of the Heat-Pistons game on Monday, the Heat legend also received the honor of having a street named after him, called \u201cDwyane Wade Boulevard.\u201d Still,\u00a0Wade continued to defend the statue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere&#8217;s only a few organizations with a statue outside. There&#8217;s not even 15 players who played this game of basketball that have a statue outside\u2026. So, for me to be the vessel that&#8217;s used, to be the chosen one, I&#8217;m proud of it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Legacy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Throughout his 15 seasons with the Heat, Dwyane Wade has won three championships, winning Finals MVP in 2006, and claiming\u00a0back to back titles with the Heatles in 2012 and 2013. As one of the best two-way guards in NBA history, he also entered the Hall of Fame in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>After Wade&#8217;s retirement, the Heat returned to the NBA Finals twice, though they fell short both times. While it looks like their title window has closed again, the team looks to maximize Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo as they push to win another championship.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heat legend Dwyane Wade enjoys a wholesome moment with his daughter after his statue unveiling.
