"Looking A**": 41-Year-Old Dwyane Wade Digs Up Embarrassing Images of LeBron James and Stephen Curry For 20,000,000 Fans' Amusement

Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade is highly active on Instagram, with a following of slightly over 20,000,000. The 41-year-old recently came across a series of AI-generated renditions of NBA superstars, reimagined in their old age. The post was initially shared by the “nba_flamesInstagram account and included a range of high-profile stars, including Wade himself. The 3-time NBA champion was not impressed with the picture, and commented that he looked “a**.”

With a net worth of $170 million, Wade is also a successful investor who has multiple stakes in companies working in tech and education. This includes stakes in startups such as Mars Reel, Kiddie Kredit, and a range of other companies. Wade obviously stays up to date with the latest technology and AI, something that his Instagram story also showed.

Dwyane Wade shares AI-generated images of multiple current and former stars

The post Wade shared included a series of NBA stars, all reimagined in their old age. This included his former teammate LeBron James, albeit in an LA Lakers jersey.

Some other stars that were included in the post were Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Jayson Tatum, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Carmelo Anthony. Wade did not comment on any other picture but seemed to have an issue with how he looked in the AI-generated picture.


Wade commented “Yoooooo looking a**,” and obviously felt there was plenty of scope for improvement. Still, Wade seems to be a fan of AI image generation tools. He also shared a laughing emoji alongside his caption. While the pictures can be forgiven to be approximations, they are still highly complex and a result of some truly impressive AI.

Wade follows in Shaq’s footsteps by sharing AI-generated renditions of NBA stars

Not so long ago, it was Shaquille O’Neal who shared a rather hilarious AI rendition of some NBA Goats. Shaq shared a video that included renditions of stars reimagined as competitive bodybuilders.

As the concept suggests, this led to some eery-looking images of the likes of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Larry Bird, and O’Neal himself. The video included a range of other stars as well, including Dwyane Wade.

Both Wade and O’Neal are active investors who have amassed great financial success after their NBA careers. Both the legends seem highly invested. They appear to be embracing image-generation and creative AI tools, albeit with a hilarious edge.
