Dwyane Wade Miami Heat statue sends social media into fits of laughter

The trap of Social expectations have caught their latest victim in Dwyane Wade. This weekend, the three-time NBA champion attended an unveiling ceremony for an eight-foot-tall statue of himself that was gifted to him by the Miami Heat. His reaction to the character can only be compared to getting a horrible sweater from your grandparents or one of those art sets with markers that never work and having to play it off like it's the best gift you've ever received has. “This is crazy, I can’t believe it,” Wade said, glancing back at the statue. “Who is this guy?”

Wade might have had to hold back his true reaction at the event, but the internet is not loyal to the Heat. “It's an amazing moment, but why did they put Laurence Fishburne in a Wade jersey?” One user commented on the revelation on Instagram under the ESPN post. Another added: “I think he was joking when he asked who this guy is!”
