Former Indiana Pacers player Scot Pollard is currently on a heart transplant list, facing a life-threatening condition that also afflicted his father, a state of Utah Hall of Fame basketball star known as 'Poison Pearl.' Pollard, known for his unique personality and style during his NBA career, has openly expressed his fear about the situation, stating he is 'scared to death.' The condition is genetic, with Pollard sharing the same DNA that threatens his heart as his father, who did not receive the transplant he needed. Pollard is now in a battle for just staying alive, awaiting the transplant at his home in Carmel, hoping for the miracle his father never received.
