The statue has been in the works for a while to honor Wade, who led the Heat to three NBA championships and is the team’s all-time leading scorer. Next to the statue is a wall that lists his career achievements.

Wade is the first player to have a statue outside the Heat’s home. When Wade learned about this, he expressed surprise and gratitude to his fans. However, many people on Twitter had strong reactions to the face of the statue.

Quickly, many noticed that the face of the statue did not look very realistic. Many feel that the statue does not resemble Wade at all and instead looks like actor Laurence Fishburne. They compared the controversy of this unveiling to the 2017 incident with Cristiano Ronaldo’s airport statue.

 

Cristiano Ronaldo’s statue was unveiled in March 2017 at Madeira Airport. However, that statue looked very different from Ronaldo himself, leading to widespread criticism from fans who felt it disrespected the football superstar.

Now, Dwyane Wade’s statue has also sparked a lot of discussion online. Do you think Dwyane Wade’s statue looks like him?
