Dwyane Wade returned to Miami for his statue unveiling which grabbed attention for its unfamiliar look and awkward reactions.
The Miami Heat finally cemented Dwyane Wade for his iconic run with the Miami Heat with a bronze statue. Adding to the excitement was that he would be the first Heat player in history with a statue outside the Kaseya Center. Wade’s iconic “This is my house” post from the Heat’s 2009 double-overtime win against the Chicago Bulls.
During his tenure, Wade earned 13 NBA All-Star selections, three championship titles, and the Heat record for points, assists, and games played.
All of these factors made the stakes high for the Heat and Sculptors to deliver. Unfortunately, when the statue was revealed an immediate awkwardness took over the crowd. The statue looked nowhere near identical to Dwyane Wade and the only accurate part might have been the Heat logo on his jersey.
As Dwyane Wade placed his eyes upon the statue you could see the indifference in his eyes and energy. The statue was so bad while on the mic he addressed the elephant in the room with “Who is this guy” prompting laughs.
“Who is that guy” 💀💀💀
