A bronze statue of NBA legend Dwyane Wade outside the Miami Heat's arena has been corrected to accurately resemble the Hall of Famer, two years after its initial unveiling, according to a Yahoo Sports report by Chuck Schilken.

The statue, which was originally unveiled in 2024, drew criticism for its lack of resemblance to the three-time NBA champion. Recent modifications have addressed those concerns, and the sculpture now bears a closer likeness to Wade.

Wade, who spent the majority of his 16-year career with the Heat, led the franchise to three championships and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2023.
