"Get the statues ready" - DJ Khaled hilariously proposes trio statue with Dwyane Wade & Jimmy Butler at Jordan Golf event
DJ Khaled made a hilarious proposal while standing alongside Dwyane Wade and Jimmy Butler. Khaled, Wade, and Butler participated in the second annual "We the Best X Jordan Golf Classic" event. Khaled posted a video of him striking a pose with Wade on his left and Butler on his right.
He gave the details of the event and the venue in the caption of his post.
"LETS GOLF!! GREAT GOLF FOR A GREAT CAUSE ⛳️ LIVE FROM THE WE THE BEST X JORDAN 2ND ANNUAL GOLF CLASSIC"
In the video, Dwyane Wade is seen smoking a cigar while Butler is standing with his hand on Khaled's shoulder. The hip-hop personality explained the importance of the occasion at the video's start. He proclaimed the trio as champions and cracked a joke about Wade's statue.
"You see my brother's we here, we here! Show em the energy, get a picture. Get the statues ready," Khaled said.
The paparazzi standing in front of the trio with their camera burst out laughing with Wade and Butler when they heard the joke. Butler interrupted Khaled to add his own twist to the joke to pull Dwyane Wade's leg.
"You had to do that to me though?" Butler asked.
The joke was based on Dwyane Wade's statue that the Miami Heat revealed on October 27 in front of the Kaseya Center to honor the three-time NBA champion and Heat icon.
Dwyane Wade makes a bold statement on the backlash of his statue
When the Heat unveiled Wade's statue, it received a significant amount of backlash from Wade's fans around the world. Moreover, some people saw it as an opportunity to pull the leg of the Hall of Famer. However, in an interview with People on October 29, Wade revealed that he was not concerned with other people's opinion on the sculpture.
"Everybody else's opinion of it is their opinions, and everyone has one, and they're allowed to utilize it, but we're not concerned with no one's opinion. We wouldn't have a statue if we ever, ever was concerned with someone's opinion," Wade said.
"This is an artistic expression of a moment, one of the biggest moments of Miami Heat history, and I'm just in disbelief that I'm the one that's chosen."
Wade had an illustrious NBA career with the best moments of it coming in his time with Miami. The franchise, on their part, did not forget to pay its respects to the legend who brought them three championships. Moreover, the city of Miami also named a street after the Heat legend.
