The former Barcelona star, a longtime NBA player, also supported the captain’s assault with horns.

When current NBA stars, horrified after Thursday night’s game, commented on an organized radical attack on American democracy, David Wood, who once spent nearly a decade in the NBA League, was active among the aggressive supporters of unelected president Trump.

With breaks from 1988 to 1997. The 206 cm tall forward, who played in the NBA league, was captured by photographers in the very vortex of events, honking a horn urging like-minded people to attack.

After playing a supporting role on various NBA teams, Wood managed to make his mark in Europe as well. 1989-1990 he played for Barcelona at that time, under Aito García Renaissance, Gladiatoriaus nicknamed and helped the team to become the champion of Spain.

In 1998 D. Wood was not one of the NBA players on the US national team, which lost to Lithuanian basketball players led by Artūras Karnišovs at the World Championship in Greece.

After completing his professional career, the American quickly became famous for his highly conservative and religious views, which he actively promoted on social media. He is also a fanatic supporter of D. Trump.

Still, after the recent events on Capitol Hill, Wood, 56, deleted some of his radical statements from social media and began to justify himself.

“I deleted a lot of my posts. Please forgive me. I went to the Capitol to pray and then many people asked me to broadcast what was happening live. I felt surrounded by people who really love our country, but then people who could be problematic began to emerge, ”explained Wood, who escaped from something, relaying the facts directly to the Capitol on his smartphone via Facebook.

“People are unhappy because their votes in the presidential elections have disappeared, illegal ballots have appeared,” Wood repeated Trump’s rhetoric, but soon tried to justify again. – I do not consider anger, personally I do not know any of those who met at the Capitol. I was not there with the aim of protesting, I just came to pray and watch. I love everyone. “

Whatever that means, Wood then quoted the Bible and reiterated his full conviction that Joe Biden had won the U.S. presidential election by illegal means and that Trump could still prove his truth and remain in the presidency for another term.

It should be noted that such hopes of the former basketball player will not be fulfilled, because on Thursday morning, in Lithuanian time, D. Trumpas finally acknowledged that he was leaving his post and promised to peacefully cede his position to J. Biden.
