The memes of his iconic moments with the statue face superimposed are great.

The statue’s face is as messed up as the correct spelling of his first name.

Dwyane Wade’s statue artist, Omri Amrany, says no one could have done a better job.

“I couldn’t have done better than that. I don’t think anybody else could do better than that. It is what it is, and we will love it forever.”

Im sure theres many artists that could have done an even worse job. Have you seen other statues or busts?

Would have never guessed his name is spelled Dwyane. It’s like someone had fat fingers when typing it out. Very unique. Read it was chosen by his grandmother.

For some reason, it reminds me of the spawn Jack Ma mixed with Wade...

Queen Elizabeth statue though, that takes the cake. I think it was an Irish sculptor having his revenge.

If there’s this much controversy, it’s a failure as far as statues go …

I thought for certain this was a joke when I first saw it. What an epic failure.
