20 Memes About Dwyane Wade's Ridiculous New Statue

Statues are a lot like referees: you don't hear about them if they're good. Unfortunately, everyone seems aware of the recently-unveiled statue of Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade, which has had sports fans in fits due to looking not a lot like Dwyane Wade.

The statue, which was reportedly signed off on by Wade, is inspired by one of his most iconic celebrations in which he jumped on the scorer's table and made a gesture implying "this is our house" to the home crowd. In theory, that's a terrific moment to freeze in time. However, the face of Wade's statue looks very little like him, according to dozens of internet commenters who are having a field day howling at this incredible botched job.

Online, users are churning out photoshops and making comparisons between the D-Wade statue and other pop culture icons, including some of history's most famous monsters. Here's a smattering of the memes that have come out in the 24 hours since Wade's statue was unveiled to the world.
