Still not the worst statue I've seen. I give you the original Lucille Ball and the remake after public outrage....

Paulie Walnuts is that you?

As for the Wade statue, they got his nose all wrong. His nose is his distinctive feature. I think 3D printers in the future will print perfect statues and put a lot if bad sculptors out of work.

The first one is the stuff of nightmares.

one of the best athletes the game has ever seen turning into a high volume 3pt shooter before he even reaches the age of 25, that's not aesthetically pleasing to my eye

The league simply has to do something.
 
You should at least be able to recognize who it is, these bad ones are atrocious.

This looks like John Travolta with malocclusion.

Does Dwayne Wade really deserve a statue?

Maybe they had the foresight to build in a plausible deniability that reflected some internal ambivalence about the project.

More generally (and seriously), I'll offer that a couple years ago, after a beloved, ever-present resident from my former village/neighborhood had died in middle aged, a noted local sculptor was commissioned to do a bust that was - so far as I know - universally praised. There isn't a time that I encounter the sculpture without saying/thinking, "That's him." It would feel so wrong if that weren't the case, and the hat example demonstrates that it can be done successfully.

Wade's speech was humble & grateful, and even if he was more likely marveling about his blessed & accomplished life, he did get it right when he began with, "Who is that guy?"
 
Sanogo is in for the Bulls late first half. Made his first fg attempt.

Not watching the game, but the box score is really ugly for Steph tonight. He’s getting bashed on social media for apparently getting worked by a second rounder. Hope he picks it up asap.

Steph was bad but at the same time the least of the Spurs problems tonight.

Clingan played well and hit his first NBA three in limited minutes.

Cling was +9 to Aytons -7 in a 1 point win on the road. Have to like that.

Cling hit his first three before Steph did. Let’s hope Steph figures out how to shoot.
