Scot Pollard Thinks Phil Jackson Is Overrated
It’s not everyday you see a washed-up NBA player give some criticism on a Hall-of-Fame head coach. But Scot Pollard did that. Yes, that Scot Pollard with the messed up facial hair and hairstyles. That one above, who looks rather unpleasant.

Ex-NBAer rips Phil Jackson
Scot Pollard was a decent college player at a big-time program at Kansas University. He parlayed his decent college career into an eleven year NBA gig where he was known more for his circus-like appearances than his post play.The biggest blip on Pollard's NBA career radar occurred in 2007 when, during a 20-second timeout, he looked directly into the camera and said, "hey kids, do...
