Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade was honored by the Miami Heat on Sunday with the unveiling of a statue outside the Kaseya Center. Such a gesture is arguably the ultimate tribute a professional sports franchise or athletic program can pay to an iconic figure.
Wade was surely awed by the spectacle of having a sculpture of him created that generations of fans can now look at outside the Heat's home arena and recall one of the team's greatest players.

A State Farm commercial featuring former NFL quarterback and current Prime Video studio analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick made fun of a ridiculous bust being made of him.
Everyone involved, including "Jake from State Farm" and Fitzpatrick's colleague Charissa Thompson insisted the sculpture's resemblance was spot-on. Yet Fitzpatrick was in disbelief and viewers of the ad surely agreed at how absurd the bust looked.
Here we are with real life once again drawing a parallel with a comedic commercial spoofing exactly these types of moments.
Perhaps in the days to come, someone will ask Fitzpatrick — himself a former Miami professional athlete, playing for the Dolphins from 2019-20 — what he thinks of the Wade statue. At the very least, he could repeat the "What did I do to deserve this?" line from the commercial and apply it to the basketball Hall of Famer.
