Dwyane Wade’s new statue ain’t just feeling the heat from internet trolls … at least one former NBA star is clowning it as well — with Chris Webber telling TMZ Sports he thinks the monument looks like Morpheus!
We caught up with C Webb out at LAX on Tuesday — and when we asked about the Wade sculpture that was just erected at the Kaseya Center in Miami on Sunday … he couldn’t help but roast the artwork.
He told us he thinks it looks more like Laurence Fishburne’s character in “The Matrix” … or even Chris Rock’s Pookie from “New Jack City.”
“It also looks like the lead singer from ‘The Five Heartbeats’ when he was singing,” Webber added with a laugh.
Webber, though, made it clear he wasn’t shading Wade at all … in fact, he said he has Dwyane as his No. 3 two guard of all time — just behind Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.
But still, he was certainly down to poke fun at the new piece — and he praised Wade for being able to do a little bit of the same.
As for how he thinks it could’ve all been avoided — he suggested statue makers spend some more time with their subjects in their personal life … and not just base their work off pictures.
If those at Marquette University are looking into a Wade statue of their own in the future … take notes!
