Criticisms about Dwyane Wade’s statue were also reflected in politics.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the Democratic party’s vice presidential candidate, attended the program. Dan Lebatard Show with Stugotz on Tuesday.

He gave his opinion about the statue. Count the governor as someone who really dislikes the statue.

“How nice was D-Wade to the sculptor about this?” said Walz. “Because that’s pretty terrible. Either he was nicer or he didn’t care.”

Walz wasn’t done.

“Scary but D-Wade, what a class act,” Walz said. “He’s like, ‘No, that’s really nice. I appreciate it.’ Yeah, I don’t know how they get that wrong. Shouldn’t they show it to everyone first?”

Walz, like many others, thinks the statue looks more like a famous actor than Wade.

“When I saw that, I thought of Laurence Fishburne,” Walz said with a smile. “I said it was really Laurence.

“It’s a statue of Lucille Ball,” Walz said.

Wade seemed happy with his appearance in statue form, at least publicly.

“If I wanted him to look like me, I’d stand outside the arena and take pictures with y’all.” wade said. “It doesn’t have to look like me. This is an artistic version of a lived moment that we’re trying to solidify.”

Wade said the statue’s unveiling Sunday night was “a special moment for my family and I.”
