The Miami Heat honored him by unveiling their very first statue of Wade, thereby immortalizing him among a select group of NBA players who have been similarly commemorated. The primary attention, however, wasn’t on the exclusivity of the group.
As soon as images of the statue surfaced online, social media erupted. Reactions were overwhelmingly negative, with many expressing disappointment in the statue’s quality.
“BRO PLS TELL ME THIS IS A PRANK,” lamented one social media user.
After much speculation regarding which of Wade’s iconic poses would be featured, the organization chose his well-known “This is my house!” stance.
“how does the gear and jersey look more realistic than the face,” queried another disappointed fan.
Despite the controversy over the statue’s portrayal, Wade’s legendary contributions to the Heat are undeniable. He played a crucial role in securing three NBA championships for the team in 2006, 2012, and 2013, and earned the NBA Finals MVP title in 2006.
Wade’s impressive career is also marked by 13 All-Star selections, eight All-NBA team honors, and a scoring title.
“Ayooo idk who that is but it’s not Dwade,” a comment highlighted the widespread bewilderment.
In a humorous twist, even Wade himself seemed puzzled as he approached his statue, remarking in awe, “That’s crazy, I can’t believe that. Who is that guy?”
Fans responded to Wade’s unintentional joke with a collective sentiment: We’re all wondering the same thing.
