Photo: Dwyane Wade (Instagram) A new statue honoring Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade has sparked some strong reactions, with fans and social media users poking fun at its likeness. The statue, which was revealed by the Heat on Sunday, celebrates Wade’s famous "This is my house" moment after a game-winning shot in 2009. The piece, though, doesn’t perfectly capture his face, and many have joked about its appearance online. Wade defended the statue on Monday, explaining that it’s not supposed to look exactly like him. "If I wanted it to look like me, I'd just stand outside the arena and y'all can take photos," Wade said. Instead, he said, the statue is meant to capture the feeling of that iconic moment. The statue shows Wade standing with his hands raised, recalling the celebration after he sank a buzzer-beater against the Chicago Bulls in double overtime. Despite the feedback, Wade encouraged people to come see the statue, take photos, and even share memes. ...

Photo: Dwyane Wade (Instagram) The Miami Heat honored their legend Dwyane Wade on Sunday by unveiling a statue outside the Kaseya Center. This tribute celebrates one of the team’s biggest stars, capturing a memorable moment from his career. The statue shows Wade during his iconic “This is my house!” celebration after a game-winning shot against the Chicago Bulls in 2009. But not everyone is thrilled. Fans quickly noticed the statue doesn’t look much like Wade. This reaction reminds many of the infamous Cristiano Ronaldo bust in Portugal that sparked a lot of criticism for looking more like a cartoon than the soccer star.

Even a recent State Farm commercial poked fun at this trend, with former NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick surprised by a statue that looks nothing like him.

Anthony talked about this idea on a recent episode of "7PM in Brooklyn." “I’m trying to raise money now, traveling around to fundraise,” Anthony said. “It’s hard, but it’s important because sports involve a lot of money, and not everyone understands that.” Anthony, who earned over $260 million during his NBA career, loves the idea of owning a team with Wade and LeBron James , who also joined the NBA in 2003. “That’s how you create a legacy,” he said. “I’d love to do it, but I’m not sure how open they are to it.” Photo: Carmelo Anthony (Instagram) Wade already has experience as a team owner. He became a minority owner of the Utah Jazz in 2021 and is also part of the ownership group for the Chicago Sky in the WNBA. Owning a team with Wade would be a dream come true for Anthony.
