They were good friends on the same high school basketball team but life took them separate ways. Dan Ivankovich became an orthopaedic surgeon and "Big Mike" Williams made the big league -- the NBA - playing for the Atlanta Hawks and the Sacramento Kings. It took four gunshots in an Atlanta nightclub to reunite them: Big Mike had tried to stop a fight but ended up paralyzed from the waist down. Bob Dotson's An American Story on the TODAY Show gave us a great story of friendship, determination, and hope.
