00:00Uh, Jimmy Butler, he was asked about D-Wade's statue, Jimmy Butler's a truth teller, alright?

00:07He's not gonna hold back, so we gotta take his word for it.

00:12I like it. I mean, I think what he's done for the city, I think it's crazy that, you know, he's the first one to get a statue out there.

00:18I'm pretty sure he won't be the last one to get one, but what a way to set an example.

00:22I mean, that guy has done so much for this organization. That's my brother, man. I'm proud of him.

00:27He likes it.

00:28He spoke more about D-Wade than the actual statue.

00:31Well, we don't gotta get into the sauce of his, hey, you're the first one to have a statue.

00:35He likes it.

00:36Here, here.

00:39This is what people are doing.

00:42And this is what I tried to do yesterday.

00:47Separate the honor of getting the statue.

00:51Yesterday, you said?

00:52Celebrate D-Wade's honor and not talk about...

01:02You said you were done with that, okay?

01:06Let me ask you this.

01:07Hey, you separated that today, okay? Like, a segment ago. Not yesterday.

01:11Technically.

01:12Yesterday, you went in.

01:13Do you think, just...

01:15On the statue!

01:16That's an honor!

01:17Let me ask you this, if this worked out for us yesterday, because he was very positive about D-Wade Boulevard.

01:22Do you think because you can say nothing about a street, and that got put up the same time, did it make the street...

01:31Because the statue was...

01:33Oh, you mean because the street doesn't have a picture?

01:36The street's a street!

01:37He's just like, cool. Sign.

01:39Well, I think...

01:41Here's the thing.

01:42There's a lot of people who have streets named after them.

01:45Mm-hmm.

01:46Ain't a whole bunch of statues.

01:48It's true.

01:49So, I don't care what that statue look like.

01:53Ain't a whole bunch of people getting statues built outside the arena that they play.

01:57How did the Allen Iverson statue...

01:58All I know of the Allen Iverson statue is it's tiny.

02:00Did it look like him?

02:02I mean, we couldn't tell.

02:04All I ever saw was the picture of Allen Iverson holding it like it was a baby.

02:08I never even looked at the accuracy of it, if it looks like him.

02:13Like, I would put that on my driveway to keep cars from driving over my grass.

02:21He's got an AI statue.

02:23So tiny!

02:25I used D-Wave's statue to scare away the crows.

02:27Yeah, that's what isn't bad.

02:28It's...

02:31A majority...

02:32I can't say like a majority.

02:33I can't say like a majority.

02:36A majority...

02:37I can't say like a majority of his face.

02:39I would say it's not as detailed as Wade's statue.

02:44They didn't take as big a swing, is what you're saying?

02:47They played it safe, and I'm kind of glad they did.

02:51I'm gonna grab a picture of it now, but...

02:53The details on the D-Wave statue are very nice.

02:56Man, down to like the stuff written on his shoes.

02:59On his shoes.

03:01That's great.

03:02Yeah, but yes.

03:03The detail from here down.

03:08Fabulous.

03:09This Iverson statue looks like they kind of were like at the base model.

03:14And then they're like, nah, this is good here, right?

03:16It's small.

03:18They didn't want to upgrade to...

03:20Oh, they did the headband.

03:22They did the sleeve and the braids.

03:24And they're like, nah, I think this is good, right?

03:26This is fine.

03:27This should be fine.

03:28We're good with it.

03:29Yeah, I'm uploading it now.

03:32And again, the fact that it's so small, they're probably like,

03:34who's really going to look at the detail with a magnifying glass?

03:41Wait, is that a headband or a hat?

03:45You got a skullcap on.

03:47Rod's is hard to work.

03:49Rod's is hard to work with.

03:51That's what I'm saying.

03:52They were trying to do cornrows.

03:54Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

03:55Like, look, this is not an easy material to work with.

03:58We should give this a pass.

03:59It looks like D-Wave.

04:00It doesn't look like D-Wave.

04:02I'm telling you, it looks like D-Wave.

04:04Who told you that?

04:05Just be nice to the artists.

04:07It looks like him.

04:08It looks like him.
