Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade Statue Roasted by the Internet

Dwyane Wade

Dwyane Wade’s Hall of Fame career saw him win three NBA Championships with the Miami Heat, earning him the status of franchise legend. The 2006 NBA Finals MVP spent the majority of his career with Miami, and the franchise decided to honor his efforts with a statue outside of Kaseya Center to immortalize him for future generations of Heat fans.

The statue was unveiled officially Sunday, with Wade on hand for the affair. He is the first Heat player to have such an honor.

While Wade seemed to be blown away by the presentation of the statue, NBA social media had a slightly different reaction to its unveiling.

Multiple X users noted a striking resemblance to Frasier star Kelsey Grammer, particularly when bearded.

If you take a close look at the statue, it appears he fits right in with his Big 3 companions from his Miami Heat prime!

It may be hard to believe, but Wade reportedly was deeply involved in the creation of his statue. He visited the creator four times during its construction, and seemed to have input on the project.

Of course, the reveal was mostly done through screens, so only those in person could see the finest of details. Apparently, it’s not nearly as bad up close to the human eye.

After all, this is a way to pay homage to one of the greatest players of his generation. And if Wade is happy with the statue itself, then isn’t that all that matters?
