With his mother's message to "Go win it" ringing in his ears, Michael trained all summer. Soon, he became the star of the team, moving from high school to college to the Olympics. Six titles, more than 1,000 games, and exactly 32,292 points later, Michael was a sports legend, encouraging kids to "Make it happen!"
