CNN —Dwyane Wade’s status as a Miami Heat legend was further cemented on Sunday as the franchise unveiled an eight-foot statue of the three-time NBA champion.
The 42-year-old played 16 seasons in the NBA and was selected as an All-Star 13 times before retiring in 2019.
One comment on an Instagram video of the unveiling said that the statue better resembled Laurence Fishburne as ’Morpheus’ from the movie ‘The Matrix’ than Wade.
Fans criticized the likeness of the statue although Wade himself didn't seem too bothered and was relishing the moment.
Tyrese Haliburton led the way for the Pacers with 22 points but still looks a long way off last season’s form.
