Scot Pollard in Carmel, Indiana
Scot Pollard grew up in San Diego, and after considering Arizona as his college basketball destination, he chose Kansas so he could play for Coach Roy Williams. After a stellar college career, Pollard was selected as the 19th pick in the 1997 NBA Draft, going to the Detroit Pistons. Pollard played for five NBA franchises during his 10-year professional career, with the bulk of his career spent with the Sacramento Kings and the Indiana Pacers. Except for his first season, Pollard appeared in the NBA Playoffs, including in the 2007 NBA playoffs with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He won a championship in his final season (2007–08) with the Boston Celtics. Pollard appeared as a contestant on the TV show Survivor in 2016. All of those life accomplishments are now overshadowed by the victory he claimed in 2024, when a genetic failure of his heart led to the need for a donor heart, which seemed doubtful at the time. A heart, however, was found, and Pollard continues to recover from the successful surgery at his home in Carmel, Indiana, where he lives with his wife Dawn and their four children.
