Mike Pepper's 2nd chance
Posted Nov 24, 2005
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.
