Dwyane Wade’s status as a Miami Heat legend was further cemented on Sunday as the franchise unveiled an eight-foot statue of the three-time NBA champion.

Wade is the first player in Heat history to be immortalized with a statue outside of the team’s Kaseya Center, with the bronze sculpture honoring his iconic ‘This is my house’ celebration from the double-overtime win against the Chicago Bulls in 2009.

The 42-year-old played 16 seasons in the NBA and was selected as an All-Star 13 times before retiring in 2019. Wade ranks No. 1 in Heat history for points, assists and games played, and is one of just two players to have been on all three of the franchise’s title-winning teams.

Wade’s remarkable career also earned him a place in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

“That’s crazy. I can’t believe that. Who is that guy?” Wade said after the statue was unveiled.

It turned out a lot of fans were also asking the same question.
