On October 28, Beijing time, the statue of Heat legend Wade was officially unveiled. The Heat held an unveiling ceremony in front of the arena at home, with Wade himself in attendance. In an interview, Wade said: "I'm really proud of myself. The statue is in the form of Wade's trademark hands pointing to the ground, shouting that this is my home turf. However, some fans complained that the statue was made in an average waymanship, not like himself.

There were also some warm-up performances before the Heat unveiled Wade's statue. The three championship trophies that Wade won for the Heat were also placed on the spot. Haslem, Adebayo, Whiteside and others attended the statue unveiling. His son Zaire's speech brought Wade to tears.

The Heat revealed in January that they would erect a statue for Wade. At present, some details about the statue of Wade have been revealed in advance, the height of the statue is 8 feet, that is, about 2.43 meters, and the team responsible for creating the statue is the sculptors Omri Amrany and Oscar Leon of the Rotblatt Amrany studio.

The studio created the Jordan statue in Chicago, and they also created two Kobe statues in Los Angeles. Bryant's first statue was 19 feet tall, or about 5.79 meters.

Wade officially became the first player in Heat history to receive a statue honor. The Heat selected Wade with the fifth pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, which also included the likes of James, Bosh and Anthony. Wade spent the first 13 seasons of his career with the Heat, then played for the Bulls and Cavaliers before returning to the Heat before retiring after the 2018-19 season.

During his time with the Heat, Wade averaged 22.7 points, 5.6 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game. His resume includes three championships, 2006 NBA Finals MVP, 2008-09 scoring title, 8-time All-NBA selection, and 13-time All-Star selection.

On October 29, Beijing time, the Heat will also hold a celebration ceremony at home against the Pistons' halfcourt, and Wade will address the fans at halftime. It was also a memorable day, because that day 21 years ago (October 29, 2003) was Wade's NBA debut, and in that game against the 76ers, Wade played 41 minutes and contributed 18 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
