Greater disrespect? That statue or that city council woman getting his name wrong?

God damn it, Wade deserved so much better.

[Kblaze8855]

God damn it, Wade deserved so much better.

It’s as bad as the famous Renaldo one. At some point during production someone had to see it and green light it.

They are more responsible than the artist I’d say. They…I assume…have actually met Wade. The artist might not even be a sports fan.

[SouBeachTalents]

They have him looking like the monsters from Bird Box

Off topic who's your current favorite player in the NBA? I'm guessing some gritty defensive guy lol.

It's LeBron.

[Kblaze8855]

Bulls bias aside(Coby White who I’m aware I never mention) it’s probably Jokic, Jrue Holiday, or Ant.

[ShawkFactory]

Were they trying to make him look like a buff Turkish dude? If so, then well played.

They picked an HGH Wade.

[Kblaze8855]

With shit like this imagine how bad the depictions must be for some historical figures. These artists have thousands of pictures and can damn near 3-D print miniature statues to copy at this point. And they **** up this bad.

People back in the day might have nothing but a painting by someone else to work with.

[Full Court]

Clearly there was a mix-up. The scupltor thought he was supposed to do a statue of this guy.

[Nowoco]

Ignoring the fact that it looks nothing, not even vaguely, like D-Wade, the pose sucks too.

How long before they announce it’s going to be redone? What an embarrassment for Miami.

[tontoz]

Funny thing is that Wade was generally pretty stone faced when he played. Not very expressive.

[GOBB]

Disgrace. He deserves better.

Unfortunately Wade is the one who signed off on it. SMH

[Kblaze8855]

Yea I was about to say I just saw that Wade met with the sculptor 4 times. I have to wonder if he was being polite. He can’t be that damn blind.

[jstern]

For a second I thought it was supposed to be a statue of Ray Allen. And I wondered why he was getting a statue.


this is what i imagine jstern looks like in real life.

Rent free. Like RRR3.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Antoine Walker helped the Heat win a Championship. He deserves this statue.

[Phoenix]

Yeah he could be expressive but he wasn't demonstrative in the way this abomination is attempting to depict.

[bdonovan]

If Wade actually looked as ferocious as Statue Wade, a'int no one standing in his way when drives to the basket, he would scare grown men.

They can use dynamite to blow up Mt. Rushmore and make 60-foot heads that look just like who they're supposed to look like....

...and Wade's statue looks like this crap.

This is their excuse:

“To the critics, there’s a lot that needs to be understood,” Oscar Leon of Rotblatt Amrany Studio told NBC News. Explaining why the likeness to the beloved baller is slightly off, Leon pointed to the creative process, which involves coating the massive objet d’art with a protective finish.

“We have to seal everything to keep the integrity of the sculpture,” he told the outlet. “However, that does create a funny little side effect of being glossy in areas that we are not used to seeing when we look at somebody in the flesh.” Leon admits the sealer creates “a little bit of, um, a misunderstanding to the eye.”


Is there examples of other statues that's made from the same material that's also sealed but still looks good?
