" I'd just walk outside the area and y'all you taking photos if I wanted it to look like me."
Dwyane Wade has seen the jokes and the condemnation. He just does n't care.
The former Miami Heat sun addressed the controversy surrounding the new statue outside of the team's South Florida area on Monday, which attracted a lot of mockery and gags after being unveiled on Sunday.
" I care, but I do n't", Wade said, via The Associated Press. " The societal internet world is about ideas. Everyone has an mind. All, use y'all thoughts. Choose explain our history more. Discuss more about a monument, come on down to see it, take some photos, take some memes. We do n't care".

Wade spent nearly all of his Hall of Fame job with the Heat, who he helped lead to three NBA names. He's also the group's all-time leading scoring, and he's the first player in company story to actually get a statue.
While it does n't really look like him, especially in the face, Wade loves it.

" If I wanted it to look like me, I'd just walk outside the area and y'all may get photos", he said. " It do n't need to look like me. It's the creative retelling of an event that we're attempting to concrete.
Wade was directly involved in the monument's construction, which took on 800 hours to complete. After Wade hit a buzzer-beater in double overtime to give the Temperature the succeed, the time was taken from a 2009 game against the Chicago Bulls.
He quickly defended the studio owners who had the statue of him, but he is aware that they must now joke, slam the critics, and move on.
" I do n't know a lot of people with a statue. Do you"? he said. " Anything here, y'all know anything about the operation of a monument? No one out there would either. And so, the process is astounding to participate in. And it's a complex process".
