MIAMI — Dwyane Wade’s new statue celebrates a moment where he won a game with his offense. The feedback to the statue had him playing defense.
Wade explained the statue’s look and the process of creating it on Monday, one day after the Heat unveiled the tribute. The statue — with a face that, to put it mildly, isn’t a perfect depiction of Wade — was immediately a talking point, trending globally on social media and even getting mentioned on national newscasts.
