Dwyane Wade left the Heat in 2016 because he didn't feel the franchise was giving him the respect he deserved.

An 8-foot statue meant to honor Dwyane Wade's legacy in the NBA is drawing criticism from fans who say the statue is not a slam dunk. Wade was joined on Sunday by his family, including wife Gabrielle Union-Wade, for the statue's unveiling at the Kaseya Center in Miami, where Wade made history in his 13 seasons with the Miami Heat.

Dwyane Wade is now the first Miami Heat player with a statue outside the team's arena.
