NBA fans immediately turned Dwyane Wade's unrecognizable statue into a fantastic meme

Sunday had to be quite the day for Dwyane Wade. He was on hand for the Miami Heat to honor him with a statue outside the Kaseya Center, which must have been exciting.

Then, he had to see the statue.

When the Heat unveiled the statue, it was immediately obvious that the final result looked absolutely nothing like the Heat legend. The statue was so bad that it brought back memories of Cristiano Ronaldo's infamous statue a few years back. Wade knew it as he had to awkwardly pretend to be a fan of the statue in real time.

I mean, look at this thing!

It's so bad. Like, bad to the point that it defies logic how nobody associated with the project spoke up ahead of time.

But hey, it did lead to some excellent memes, and we're thankful for that.

This was how Twitter/X reacted

They have to re-do it, right? They must.

More NBA!
