Dwyane Wade’s success in the NBA is matched by his style, dynamic presence and killer instinct. The former Finals MVP kicked off his celebratory statue unveiling weekend as a James Bond-themed party called “Statues are Forever,” with the statue set to be officially unveiled on Sunday. The invitation-only party did not disappoint.

In true James Bond style, Wade arrived at Queen Miami Beach in an Aston Martin DBX707 accompanied by his Bond girl Gabrielle Union-Wade. The glamorous couple were impeccably dressed in black tie FWRD. The evening featured extravagant culinary delights and cocktails by Don Julio 1942, personally engraved for the evening, as well as champagne by Armand de Brignac, all with the theme of a premiere for the film 003. (Wade famously wore No. 3 for the heat) .

As guests transitioned from the cocktail hour into the main room, they were greeted with the iconic James Bond tune “Feeling Good” and dazzled by mesmerizing aerialists and dancers performing various James Bond movie themes. Wade and Union’s guests were simply thrilled.

The man of the hour made his grand entrance while the famous Bond theme song played in the background. As Wade walked to the center of the stage, the crowd screamed with excitement. Artists surrounded him as he opened the evening, saying, “This is the start of a ‘Statues Are Forever’ weekend.” We’re about to embark on something we’ve never experienced before. If you have a glass, raise it,” as Wade raised a glass of Armand De Brignac champagne.

After his toast, Wade got the party started, he had a great time with his guests and sat down at the microphone with his DJ. The entire crowd danced the night away, including family, friends and former teammates of the three-time NBA champion.

The highlight of the evening was a performance inspired by one of the 003 movie posters. From Miami with love. The Miami-style show began with a toast from Wade’s close friend and former teammate Udonis Haslem, who raised a glass of Don Julio 1942 and let Wade know he was in for a special evening with Miami’s “biggest and baddest legends.” and to express his love for him as a brother. Udonis also noted that over the course of his career, Wade captured the hearts of not only people on South Beach but also across the bridge, becoming a true icon for people from all walks of life in Miami.

The performance began with “Pull Over” by rapper Trina, followed by “Who Dat” by JT Money. Ball Greezy then took the stage and played several songs. To bring it back old school, Miami legend Uncle Luke wowed the crowd with several of his hits. The performance ended with DJ Khaled performing a routine of “All I Do Is Win,” “All the Way Up” and “I’m the One” while Dwyane and Gabrielle joined him on stage.

Suffice to say, the evening was every bit as spectacular as Wade’s legendary NBA career, and the unveiling of the statue remained a highly anticipated event.
