Sophomore year, Michael and his friends are all suited up for try-outs and they are excited. They had all grown up watching the team play and knew that they had a reputation of being great. One of their friends, Tim Klements had made the team his freshman year, now he was standing with all of the seniors and giving dirty glances to his old friends. Michael appeared to be poised and ready, but minutes before walking onto the floor he had thrown up. Michael didn?t know what to expect from this new coach.

In the end, none of this mattered because the coaches? decision was that Michael wasn?t big enough to be able to hold his own. He was cut from the team.

The stories in this book tell a true tale of the greatest athlete in history.
