00:00Of course, the buzz topic of the week has been Dwayne Wade, the great Dwayne Wade, getting
00:06his statue in front of the Kaseya Center.
00:10It has been getting universally ripped.
00:13And to no surprise yesterday, his guy, Charles Barkley, who, of course, I mean, was this
00:19guy.
00:20I don't know how tight they are anymore.
00:22They used to do T-Mobile.
00:23He's on his T-5.
00:25I don't think so.
00:26I don't think so.
00:27But that is a great commercial.
00:28What was it to everybody's fave?
00:29What was it?
00:30Fave 5?
00:31Fave 5.
00:32Your fave 5.
00:33What was it?
00:34Free texting calls to anybody in your fave 5.
00:35That's how it worked?
00:36Yeah.
00:37Well, Charles Barkley, to harken back to that commercial, he's telling you, get that statue
00:45out of here.
00:46But obviously a great honor for Dwayne.
00:48It's a great honor, but they got to take that thing down.
00:51No!
00:52It was animated.
00:53No, not animated.
00:54If you made an animated face and then they made a bronze statue.
00:56If you made an ugly statue, that's what it would look like.
00:59That thing's awful.
01:00It's not awful.
01:01Look, he's making an animated face.
01:05There's a moment.
01:07That was after he saw the statue right there.
01:10That's the face he made after he saw it.
01:14One of the best reactions I saw was that, look, if you showed that to a thousand people
01:18and didn't say who just got a statue, would you ever say, oh, yeah, that's Dwayne Wade.
01:23I would have said Dwayne Wade making an animated face.
01:26The statue was so bad.
01:28They had to put all his stats behind it so you know who it was.
01:32Hey, shout out to the statue maker, man.
01:34Yeah.
01:35Shout out to the statue maker.
01:36You put all that time in it, y'all gonna kill him all.
01:38Get your education next time.
01:40Jeez.
01:41Wow.
01:42That was awful.
01:43I mean, jeez.
01:44Wow.
01:45I mean, I don't look, again, I've said this all week.
01:49I don't think it's that bad, but I thought Rocky V was good.
01:53Like I can't, I mean, everybody thinks that the statue stinks.
01:57I guess it's, I mean, I don't know what to tell you.
01:59I went to it the other day too.
02:00I took the closeup exam and like, and my final take of it going away was, I think there's
02:06a side to it.
02:08I think head on, I guess it looks good, but no one's going to look at it head on because
02:11nobody is eight feet tall.
02:13But like, I think the one angle that you look at it, it's a little harsher than it is when
02:16you look at it from the right side.
02:20It looks, it looks like D Wade.
02:22Okay.
02:23I'm telling you it does.
02:24But Tobin, shouldn't like whatever angle you look at the statue, you shouldn't not look
02:27like the person.
02:28I, I guess, but it's also, I think it's a hard thing to do.
02:31I think it's hard to make, like how many statues are that intense?
02:35Okay.
02:36Well, I, this is what I thought.
02:38It's a statue, not a bus, but maybe they should have gotten the people from Canton, you know,
02:43Ohio too.
02:44Yes, they are good.
02:45They are very good in getting, but these guys did, they did the, the Michael Jordan statue,
02:51but it's not hard to do a Jordan statue.
02:54He's bald, but it's not the hair.
02:55It's the job.
02:56It's on the eyes.
02:57Everybody says though, this is the thing.
02:59This is where they went.
03:00Like everybody says it's the jaw.
03:02That's where everybody goes to.
03:03And D Wade, that was his idea.
03:05Like he wanted it to be intense.
03:07He said down to the bubblegum that's in his mouth, like, I don't know, just maybe it was
03:12too detailed.
03:13I think that's probably, if they would have gone with less details, you're looking at
03:17me crazy, but I'm saying like, if they went less details, then it would, maybe it wouldn't
03:21have gotten as many critiques, but that's weird because if they were detailed to like
03:26the fine comb, it shouldn't look, it should, there should, but the thing is, is like, it's
03:30flexed.
03:31Like, I think that looks like D Wade.
03:33I don't know.
03:34Maybe I'm crazy.
03:35I think that looks like him, but it is, I'm going to tell you what it is.
03:38And this is pause worthy, but it is, I think the way D Wade is such a good looking person,
03:45that this statue doesn't, that's what it is.
03:48Well, he's also like, we don't see him angry ever.
03:51Like he's always kind of got like the, you know, the, we seen him angry, but it's not
03:55like that.
03:56Not like that.
03:57That's one of his most intense moments though.
03:58Um, I don't know.
03:59I went, I thought that it was, I thought it looked cool.
04:02I know I'm in the bag for D Wade.
04:04It's just going to happen when he, you know, he's, you know, the, we got the street named
04:09after him and you know, he's coming up to me afterwards, Goosey's moment on, you know,
04:13best birthday present ever.
04:14But you know, what are you going to do?
04:17I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
04:19Everybody's everybody hates it, but I love how you, but you know, it's over and I give
04:22you credit, man.
04:23When you were in the locker room and you asked Jimmy, Hey, what do you think about that D
04:27Wade statue?
04:28Jimmy gave you a smile and he was like, Oh, I think it's cool.
04:31But it was just, that smile was like, I'm sure he's killed him.
04:36I'm sure.
04:37Has LeBron said anything about LeBron has said anything about it?
04:39I don't think they've asked LeBron, but he hadn't said anything on social media about
04:43it.
04:44What's Stephen A?
04:45Stephen A was there.
04:47I didn't hear.
04:48I got to find out what he said about it, but I don't think Brian, I haven't seen, I don't,
04:51I haven't seen anybody defend it.
04:54Nobody has come out publicly and said, Jeff Teague and his club, five, 20 podcasts, that's
04:58a good podcast.
04:59They ripped it.
05:00Uh, Gil, Gillian ripped it.
05:03Yeah.
05:04Like, you know, crazy.
05:07Hey, wait, is the Kobe statue look that was the Kobe statue outside staples or now crypto?
05:14Well, they have multiple statues of Kobe.
05:17The one that's like, I think, I don't know which one they did.
05:19I think they did the one that just got revealed because D Wade said that 24, when he shot
05:24it, like, yeah.
05:25Cause D Wade said that he was, when he went to go visit the factory, which he said he
05:29went four times, four hours a piece that the Kobe statue was being made at the same time.
