Wade expressed uncertainty about how he will feel seeing his statue, stating, "I've been trying to think about it ever since I heard that I would have a statue and I don't think any answer I come up with is going to reflect how I will feel." He anticipates a complex emotional response to this monumental honor.
Wade shared his surprise at being the first player to receive a statue, saying, "It's something that I never thought or played for or thought I would have. If you asked when I came in, I probably would have said Pat Riley would have the first statue... For me to be the first, it continues to show me how much Pat and how much Micky... revere me."
Reflecting on his long relationship with the Heat organization, Wade noted, "I think a lot of people like to focus on some of the negatives that went down in our relationship. But our relationship was so long and there were so many positives in it."
