Mike Pepper had shot thousands of free throws in his life. As he lined up for this one on Dec. 17, 2003, at a high school gym in Virginia, he had no idea it would be the most significant. Pepper was about to experience a cerebral aneurism, which would affect his life from that moment forward. (Charlotte Observer)
