Former NCAA champion with North Carolina, Eric Montross is battling cancer

Formerly from North Carolina, where he spent four years, notably winning the NCAA title in 1993, Eric Montross then played a few years in the NBA, in Boston then in Dallas, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Detroit and Toronto.

Apart from his rookie campaign, where he started with the Celtics in reconstruction (10.0 points and 7.3 rebounds on average) and which allowed him to participate in the Rookie Game and to be in the All-Rookie Second Team, the pivot of 2m13 has lived a fairly anecdotal professional career, averaging 4.5 points and 4.6 rebounds in 465 games.

Now, the 51-year-old retiree is a radio commentator at North Carolina games, while also working for the Rams Club, the charity arm of Chapel Hill University.

Activities that the 9th choice of the 1994 Draft must put on hold since he was diagnosed with cancer.

“We are touched by the reactions our family has received since the news became public”explained the family of Eric Montross in a press release. “Your support is more than appreciated: it is welcomed as a necessary part of beating cancer, one day at a time. Our family is facing Eric’s diagnosis head-on, in the only way we know how. And we are all together in this fight”.
