Early life and college
Pollard was one of six children in a devout Latter-Day Saint family, but Pollard never accepted the faith. Pearl Pollard, his father, played basketball at the University of Utah. He played basketball at Torrey Pines High School in San Diego for three years before moving to Kennewick, Washington, to play for Kamiakin High School for the majority of his senior year. In 1993, a parade magazine named Pollard a High School All-American. He eventually graduated from Tornado Pines and attended the University of Kansas, where he obtained a degree in education in 1997. Pollard finished sixth in rebounds with 358, fourth in rebounds with 850, and second in blocked shots with 218 while playing NCAA basketball.
Basketball career
Pollard was ranked 19th overall in the 1997 NBA Draft by the Detroit Pistons, with whom he debuted in the 1997-98 NBA season. He averaged 2.7 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 0.3 assists per game in 33 Pistons games.
Christian Laettner was traded to the Atlanta Hawks, but Pollard never suited up for a game with them and was suspended almost a month later. Pollard was traded to the Sacramento Kings, whose leadership was assisting in the development of a profitable playoff team at the time. During the lockout-shortened 1999 season, he sustained an injury that limited him to only for sixteen games. During his time with the Kings, Vlade Divac was a solid backup center, often starting at power forward when Chris Webber was injured.
Pollard's 2002–03 NBA season was marred by injuries. He was traded to the Indiana Pacers after that season. Pollard's average was 3.4 rebounds, 3.2 points scored, and 0.4 assists per game. He played an average of about 12 minutes per game.
Following the 2005-2006 season, Pollard's deal with the Pacers came to an end. Pollard, a Cleveland Cavaliers fan, agreed to a one-year deal on August 18, 2006. Pollard played one minute of game 2 as the Cavaliers lost the 2007 NBA Finals to the San Antonio Spurs, losing four games to none.
Pollard signed a one-year deal with the Boston Celtics on August 9, 2007. Pollard chose #66 as his new uniform number, and jokingly stated that he took it because he would not be allowed to have three 6's. Pollard played little minutes during the season and saw no playing time during the Celtics' championship run in the 2008 NBA Playoffs. He resigned shortly after.
Broadcasting career
On Comcast SportsNet, Pollard hosted "Planet Pollard" during the 2007–08 season, a segment of the show Celtics Now. He toured many cities and gave tours and details about the area he was visiting.
Pollard volunteered for color commentator Tom Heinsohn on CSN New England's game telecast on April 12, 2008. Pollard, who was out for the season after ankle ligament surgery, has color analyst experience with the Sacramento Kings and the WNBA's Sacramento Monarchs. In 2009, Pollard appeared on NBA television for the first time. Pollard will be joining the Indiana Pacers radio crew on October 3, 2014.
