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.
“If I wanted it to look like me, I’d just stand outside the arena and y’all can take pH๏τos,” Wade said Monday. “It don’t need to look like me. It’s the artistic version of a moment that happened that we’re trying to cement.”

That moment was the end of a game against the Chicago Bulls in March 2009, when he made a sH๏τ to win at the buzzer of double overtime, hopped up onto a courtside table and yelled, “This is my house.”
The position of his hands in the statue are reminiscent of that moment. But it’s the face that has generated almost all of the feedback.
