Dwyane Wade statue

Dwyane Wade's statue unveiled at the Kaseya Center in Miami has sparked widespread criticism for its unflattering resemblance to the NBA legend. While Wade expressed joy at being honored, stating, 'This is crazy,' many fans took to social media to voice their disapproval, likening the statue to other characters, including Thanos and Morpheus, and questioning its accuracy. Sculpted by Omri Amrany and Oscar León, the statue commemorates a pivotal moment from Wade's career, but comments focused heavily on its failure to capture his likeness, particularly his facial features. Critics remarked that the statue looks 'completely unrecognizable' and suggested that the design fell short despite the effort put into it. Wade himself humorously questioned the statue's appearance by asking, 'Who’s that guy?' indicating some level of confusion about the portrayal. Nonetheless, Wade’s achievements as a player were acknowledged at the unveiling, which was celebrated by fans and family alike.
