The new Dwayne Wade statue was unveiled on Oct. 27 at the Kaseya Center
This new statue is to.honor his iconic ‘This is my house’ celebration from the double-overtime
win against the Chicago Bulls in 2009.
It’s getting a lot of attention but maybe not for the best reasons. Todd Marius said,“The
first thing that came to mind was, that sort of looks like Laurence Fishburne, not so much
Dwyane Wade.” People may criticize it over screen. They said they think that it looks much
better in person. Multiple viewers agreed with the sculptors. Omri Amrany and Oscar León of
Rotblatt Amrany Studios put more than 800 hours into sculpting it and are more than satisfied
with the result.
“I’m happy with it because we all know who this is,” Luqman Shaheed said. “He’s
Dwyane Wade…he left his legacy here and now all the people and fans get to come and take
pictures and have a little moment with him.” No matter what people say on the looks of the
statue it still is a feat and represents Dwyane Wade’s accomplishments and now he will always
have a place at Kaseya Center.
