MIAMI — The new Dwyane Wade statue outside the Kaseya Center is getting a lot of attention over the appearance of the basketball icon’s face.

Almost immediately after it was unveiled on Sunday, critics expressed disdain for the statue on social media. 

On Monday, NBC South Florida asked visitors how they felt about the statue, looking at it in person. The reviews were mixed.

“The first thing that came to mind was, that sort of looks like Laurence Fishburne, not so much Dwyane Wade,” Todd Marius said.

Another visitor commented on the statue’s teeth.
