(/sigh) I can’t imagine my proud franchise has come to this.

Who did they get to mannequin for the statue, Takeo Spikes?

I’m undecided if it’s the angle or the shortage of sunshine hitting the statue, however man this could be one of many worst statues I’ve ever seen devoted to a participant, and that’s saying one thing.

Naturally, the web went to city on it:

So, folks naturally hate the statue, and rightfully so. The face of the Miami Warmth being depicted like THAT is horrible. Nonetheless, with the sunshine and floor degree perspective, it does look a bit completely different:

You may clearly see his eyes and his face in there, and it positively appears like Wade from there. Nonetheless, it’s simply brutal, sort of a moist fart on a lovely second and ceremony.

Wade himself cherished it, in order that’s all that issues.
