Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James couldn’t be any happier after the Miami Heat dropped some updates on their planned statue tribute for Dwyane Wade.
In January, the Heat announced that they plan to honor Wade by putting up a statue outside Kaseya Center later in 2024. On Thursday, the team finally unveiled the key dates when they plan to celebrate unarguably the greatest Miami player of all time.
According to the Heat, they will reveal Wade’s statue on October 27 before hosting a statue night the next day, October 28, when they are scheduled to play the Detroit Pistons in the 2024-25 regular season.
After seeing the announcement, James shared it on his Instagram Stories. The Lakers star and two-time NBA champion with the Heat included several raising hands emojis as caption, highlighting how hyped he is for his good friend and former teammate.
There’s no doubt that Dwyane Wade deserves the statue tribute. After all, he’s the most successful player in the franchise’s history, despite the team bringing in players like LeBron James and Shaquille O’Neal during its storied history.
