‘Who is that guy?’ Sculpture of Dwyane Wade has basketball fans confused
globalnews.caDwyane Wade, 13-time NBA all-star and Miami Heat alum, is now forever immortalized in bronze, but many basketball fans are scratching their heads after his statue was unveiled over the weekend.
He’s the first Heat player to ever have a statue made in his likeness, and it honours his iconic “This is my house” celebration from his team’s double-overtime win against the Chicago Bulls in 2009.

And while those who attended the Miami unveiling over the weekend applauded the commissioned piece, many online said they’re struggling to see the resemblance.

Some observers remarked the statue more resembled Laurence Fishburne and his character Morpheus from The Matrix rather than Wade.
