Dwyane Wade defends new Heat statue, brushes off criticism: ‘I don’t know a lot of people with a statue’

Dwyane Wade has seen the jokes and the criticism. He just doesn’t care.

The former Miami Heat star spoke on Monday about the new statue depicting him outside of the team’s arena in South Florida, which drew plenty of condemnation and jokes after many thought it didn’t look like him at all once it was unveiled on Sunday.

“I care, but I don’t,” Wade said, via The Associated Press. “The social media world is about opinions. Everyone has an opinion. Everyone, use y'all opinions. Please talk more about us. Talk more about a statue, come on down to see it, take some photos, send some memes.
