Former Celtic Scott Pollard shares Disney bubble dirt in new interview

2008 Boston Celtics champion center Scott Pollard shared some of the wild stories he’d heard about Disney bubble life in a recent interview.

You might not remember Boston Celtics champion center Scott Pollard from the team’s 2008 postseason run to win Banner 17, but that’s mostly because he didn’t actually play very much in his sole season as a Celtic, appearing in no playoff games that playoffs.

But you might recognize him from the popular reality TV show “Survivor,” or at any of the several stops of his 11-season career before he arrived in Boston.

Speaking with Celtics Blog podcast host Adam Taylor, Pollard revealed he’d been entrusted with some juicy gossip on the goings-on of various unnamed players at the Disney restart ‘bubble’.

“There were some things that didn’t get made public but really 100% happened and they’re pretty wild stories,” revealed the former Celtic to Taylor (via Heavy.com’s Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson).

“This is a story [that] involved a rental of a house on the golf course and supposedly some were sneaking out to that house they rented to go hang out and have a good time. Another story, is one team particularly hired a new massage therapist, that may, or may not have, been a legitimate massage therapist.”

We’re not sure exactly what Pollard was implying there, but even in the best-case scenario it represented a potentially serious breach of restart protocol.

That NBA players found ways to bend the rules to their advantage in the so-called bubble probably shouldn’t surprise, given at least one player — the Houston Rockets’ Danuel House — was caught doing so.

That none of the shenanigans saw the light of day in the press during the bubble — or worse, resulted in a COVID-19 infection or breakout — probably ought to surprise us.
