MILWAUKEE, Wi., August 9,
2019 – This
morning, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and
Museum
unveiled an officially licensed, limited-edition bobblehead commemorating Dwyane Wade’s
remarkable career. The bobblehead features Wade standing on a gold basketball
net and base holding an NBA Championship and Finals Trophy. Two additional NBA
Championship trophies are on the base of the bobblehead, which includes a
plaque listing Wade’s career stats and accomplishments.
The limited edition bobbleheads, which are individually numbered to only 2,019
to coincide with Wade’s final season, just arrived and are available beginning
today in the Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store and at the Museum, which is
located in Milwaukee. The bobbleheads are $50 each with a flat rate shipping
charge of $8 per order and were produced exclusively for the National
Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum by FOCO.
During his 16-year career in the NBA, Dwyane Wade helped the Miami Heat earn
NBA Championships in 2006,
2012 and 2013. He was also the NBA Finals MVP (2006), NBA scoring champion (2009), NBA All-Star Game
MVP (2010), 13x NBA All-Star (2005-2016, 2019), 8x All-NBA, 3x All-Defense, NBA
All-Rookie First Team and NBA Skills Challenge champion. Wade also won two
Olympic medals and a FIBA World Championship medal.
“Dwyane Wade has made a tremendous impact on Miami both on and off the
court and we knew his amazing career needed to be commemorated in a special
bobblehead,” said Phil Sklar, Co-Founder and CEO of the National Bobblehead
Hall of Fame and Museum. “We think this bobblehead is the perfect way for fans
to celebrate Dwyane’s special career.”
Wade was selected by the Miami Heat with the 5th overall pick in the
2003 NBA Draft and spent all but two seasons with the Heat. He was born in
Chicago, Illinois, and attended Richards High School in Oak Lawn. Wade chose to
play college basketball at Marquette University in Milwaukee, where he led the
Golden Eagles to the Final Four in 2003 while averaging 21.5 points per game.
His performance over two years at Marquette led to his #3 jersey being retired
by the school.
