The Atlantic<\/a>: The Worst Statue in the History of Sports<\/span><\/p>\n Usually when I link to a source, I write my own snarky little snippet, but in this particular case, I think The Atlantic\u2019s verbatim headline, although a little heavy-handed, sums up the general sentiment and sets the tone for my own observations about Dwyane Wade\u2019s freshly unveiled statue, outside of the BBC<\/span> whatever name of the venue in which the Miami Heat play in.<\/span><\/p>\n But yes, the Dwyane Wade statue is pretty horrendous for a litany of reasons, and not just the fact that it looks absolutely fucking nothing like him.\u00a0 Personally, I think he looks like an old Asian man, like Mr. Fuji from the WWF, but I\u2019ve seen comparisons to Morpheus from The Matrix, as well as a laundry list of other NBA players past and present.<\/span><\/p>\n I can\u2019t say that I was as big of a hoops fan to understand the significance of him pointing down, but the 14-year old in me automatically assumes that he\u2019s pointing to his testicles, adding to the list of reasons why this statue is so historically bad.<\/span><\/p>\n Without (much) argument, Wade is probably the best player to be drafted and succeed with the Miami Heat, having won a championship with him being the 1A guy in like 2006.\u00a0 If there were any time in his career in which his status should have been inspired by, I would\u2019ve guessed the 2006 Finals, but I don\u2019t really remember much about his performance other than the absolutely bonkers rate in which Wade went to the free throw line, and attempted over 90 free throws during the series against the Mavericks, en route to scoring like 200 points and winning the Finals MVP, so I guess having a statue of him shooting free throws wouldn\u2019t have been that legendary.<\/span><\/p>\n Otherwise, as revered as he is in Miami, all I remember him for is being the guy that voluntarily gave up the driver\u2019s seat of the team to LeBron James, which did in fact, net him two more championship rings, but basically tarnished the rest of his career as he basically became Robin for the remainder of it, to the point where he was one of the first really hilariously notable victims to a sports contract opt-out clause, where he opted out of his deal with the Heat, thinking he could negotiate more money, but was very wrong, and ended up having to crawl back to the Heat for the same money, but more years to earn it.<\/span><\/p>\n He would then bounce around between Chicago and Cleveland and eventually come back to the Heat where he could at least go out on relatively his own terms, ending where it all began, and actually have a farewell tour in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n I have no issue with Dwyane Wade, but in my opinion there\u2019s no mistaking that he\u2019s a guy that got owned quite a few times in his career, and I can\u2019t help but find humor in those scenarios.\u00a0 The fact that in what should\u2019ve been one of his last few greatest career moments in his career, also ended up being a bomb as well, on account of a hilariously terrible statue that looks absolutely nothing like him seems fitting, as the guy basically finished up the second half of his career getting owned repeatedly; so really what really is the harm in one more instance of getting owned for D-Wade?<\/span><\/p>\n I don\u2019t see it anywhere, but let\u2019s just hope that the statue itself at least spelled \u201cDwyane\u201d correctly; not that it should be surprising if they didn\u2019t considering the asinine phonetically incorrect way he actually legally spells it, but it would be funny if it weren\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Atlantic: The Worst Statue in the History of Sports Usually when I link to a source, I write my own snarky little snippet, but in this particular case, I think The Atlantic\u2019s verbatim headline, although a little heavy-handed, sums up the general sentiment and sets the tone for my own observations about Dwyane Wade\u2019s … Continue reading Who knew Dwyane Wade was an old Asian guy<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[59,79,100,45,83,52,58,49],"class_list":["post-50251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-basketball","tag-cashmoney","tag-comparison","tag-fail","tag-observations","tag-owned","tag-sports","tag-wtf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=50251"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50251\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50253,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50251\/revisions\/50253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=50251"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=50251"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=50251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
