Dwyane Wade Statue Gets Roasted by NBA Fans: "Is that supposed to be him?"

Dwyane Wade, the Miami Heat legend, recently got his very own statue unveiled in front of the American Airlines Arena. But instead of showering the statue with praise, fans took to social media to roast it mercilessly.

You see, the statue just didn't quite capture Wade's essence. It looked more like a generic basketball player than the iconic "Flash." Fans were quick to point out the statue's awkward pose, the lack of detail in Wade's signature "thumbs up" pose, and the overall "un-Wade" feel. It's like the sculptor got the assignment, shrugged, and just threw some clay together.

"Is that supposed to be D-Wade?" one fan tweeted. "Looks like they took a random dude off the street and put him in a Heat uniform." Ouch.

The internet, as usual, was quick to jump on the bandwagon. Memes, comparisons to other, less-than-ideal sports statues, and even a few "artistic interpretations" of what the statue SHOULD have looked like flooded social media. It was a comedy goldmine.

And you know what? I kind of get it. While we all love Dwyane Wade and what he's done for the Heat, that statue just didn't do him justice. Maybe the sculptor needed to spend more time watching old "Flash" highlights and less time playing Fortnite.

However, some fans are taking a more positive spin. "Maybe it's a good thing," one fan mused. "At least they didn't give him a ridiculous 'hair-on-fire' pose like some other statues."

Whatever your take on the Dwyane Wade statue, it's clear that this unveiling brought out the funny side of NBA fans. It just goes to show that even legends aren't safe from the internet's roasting abilities. Let's just hope the next statue, if there is one, gets a little more love from the fans.
