There is no doubt that Dwayne Wade is a big name in Miami's basketball history. The Miami Heat even immortalized him with a new statue outside of the Kaseya Center.
He’s the first in Heat history to have the honor. However, not all are impressed by the tribute and many pointed out that the statue looked nothing like the three-time NBA champion. Even Wade himself asked what many were thinking.
"That’s crazy. I can’t believe that. Who is that guy?" Wade said after the figure was unveiled. He was joking, of course.
Sports reporter Rachel Nichols said Wade approved the statue.
In the meantime, the internet didn’t hold back their feelings about the statue and immediately roasted it.
Some said it looked like Laurence Fishburne’s character, Morpheus, in "The Matrix."
"I can’t believe the Romans carved some of the most beautiful and iconic statues with hammer and chisel yet with modern tech we get this," wrote one user on X, formerly Twitter.
"That ain’t D WADE, that’s homie from 'I Am Legend'" another user wrote on the platform.
"Bruh that’s not D Wade that’s the mummy," another person added with a GIF from the movie "The Mummy."
