Former NBA player Scot Pollard is facing a life-threatening predicament. The 6-foot-11 athlete, known for his successful career in the basketball league, is now in urgent need of a heart transplant. However, his towering stature and extra-large physique pose a challenge in finding a suitable donor capable of providing a heart large and strong enough to sustain his body.
Pollard, who won a championship ring with the 2008 Boston Celtics, was admitted to intensive care at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center on Tuesday. He is prepared to stay there until a donor is found who matches his unique requirements. In a text message to The Associated Press, Pollard stated, 'I'm staying here until I get a heart. My heart got weaker. (Doctors) agree this is my best shot at getting a heart quicker.'
