Scot Pollard is best remembered for his time on Survivor. However, he was once part of the Boston Celtics 2008 championship-winning roster. He is an 11-year NBA veteran. Yet, those achievements have meant little to him and his family in recent months.
Instead, the 6-foot-11 property salesman has been battling for his life. Pollard, 49, has a genetic heart issue. It was causing his heart to beat 10,000 extra times per day. His health was rapidly degenerating. And so, he and his doctors made the decision for him to remain in the hospital, under the watchful eye of his critical care doctors, as he and his family prayed for a donor.
