Dwyane Wade on Fans Hating His Miami Heat Statue: 'I Only Listen to People Who Have Statues'

Dwayne Wade made it clear he's not letting people who don't have a statue bother him.

During a visit to The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the three-time NBA champion was asked his thoughts about his statue that was erected in front of the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, and he had no choice but to flex on the people who have been trolling him. When the statue was unveiled last October, fans had a field day over the structure regarding how it didn't look like Wade.

However, the trolling doesn't bother Wade, as not everyone has a statue. According to Wade, he only listens to people who have a statue, and that list is pretty small.

"That's what they do, they talk," said Wade. "But people ain't got a statue, Jimmy. I only listen to people that have statues. If you don't have a statue ..."

Wade then named the statue "Statuesque Wade" and invited anyone who wanted to see it to visit the structure outside the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. He then explained how good it felt to have his statue.

"It's so surreal, I'm a kid from the inner city of Chicago and to be able to end my career and be able to walk away with a statue outside the arena it means everything because I put everything I had into the game of basketball, on and off the court and for the Miami Heat to honor me in that way it's just special."

He added, "Social media tried to take my moment away from me, and I get all the jokes. I'm in on all the jokes, but if you know where I come from, if you know my journey, if you know my walk, that was a huge moment for my family and me."

D Wade has been enjoying all the publicity his statue has been getting. Most recently, Wade starred in an AT&T commercial with Carmelo Anthony, where the latter was honored with a mini statue that confused him. Wade showed his flair for self-aware humor by applauding Melo's statue as if it were flawless.
