Dwyane Wade on his new statue: Personally I’m biased, I think it’s one of the best statues that’s been created

The sculpture is first made with clay before the bronze is applied for the final touch. “Dwyane was visiting multiple times,” León said, with the Heat celebrating “Dwyane Wade Statue Night” during Monday’s matchup against the Detroit Pistons at Kaseya Center. “It was that last visit with those last little tweaks that he got to see firsthand. After that, we really do kind of trust the process. The bronze brings out a level of depth and shine and this vibrancy that you cannot get in the clay. The clay absorbs a lot of light, where this bronze has this nice quality that you just can’t picture what that’s going to look like. But we trust the process.” -via Miami Herald / October 28, 2024
