Not too long ago, the Miami Heat decided to honor one of the greatest players in their franchise's history, Dwyane Wade. They chose to place a statue of the star NBA guard and 3-time NBA champion outside of the Kaseya Center, which is formally known as the American Airlines Arena.

All the rumblings about the D-Wade statue have gotten all of us thinking about the statues that exist all over the country. Lucky for us, we're able to say that there are a few notable sports figures that have statues in the Mitten State. They range from the pro teams in Detroit to several of the college programs around the state.

By no means am I saying that the statues here in Michigan are far better than everything else we have seen but they are absolutely beautiful. The sculptors all did an amazing job of capturing the style of play, charisma, and attitude of each figure almost flawlessly.

Why would I keep rambling on about how great the statues are here in Michigan when you can take a look for yourself? Below are the most notable sports statues in the state of Michigan.
