Dwyane Wade's new statue, celebrating a game-winning moment, sparked extensive social media discussion—primarily due to its perceived lack of resemblance, drawing attention to its artistic essence.
Wade commented on the statue, saying, 'If I wanted it to look like me, I'd just stand outside the arena and y'all can take photos.' He emphasized the importance of the artistic version of the moment over realistic likeness.
The statue, created after approximately 800 hours of work, was a collaborative process with Wade involved throughout, highlighting the complexity and uniqueness of being immortalized in this manner.
Wade embraced the mixed reactions, stating, 'The social media world is about opinions... talk more about us. Talk more about a statue, come on down to see it.'
