“Nightcap” podcast hosts Shannon Sharpe and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson have sided with the critics blasting the controversial statue of NBA legend Dwyane Wade.&
On Oct. 27, the Miami Heat franchise revealed the new eight-foot Dwyane Wade sculpture during a ceremony outside the Kaseya Center.&
The monument was designed by Rotblatt Amrany Studio’s Omri Amrany and Oscar León, who also assisted with creating statues of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.

Amrany and León drew inspiration for the D-Wade statue from his iconic “This is My House” celebration after he hit a game-winning, three-point shot against the Chicago Bulls in 2009.
Initially, Wade appeared to be confused when seeing the statue. At the unveiling ceremony, the Utah Jazz minority owner looked at the piece and said, “That’s crazy. I can’t believe that. Who is that guy?”
A recent episode of “Nightcap” featured Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson weighing in on the backlash directed at the Heat for their bronze statue.&
