Fred Hunter,  spins a basketball tale unlike any other.
In a matter of three years, Hunter went from playing intramural
hoops at Michigan to earning a walk-on spot with the Wolverines
to grabbing a starting slot to then captaining the 1991 Michigan

against Duke. Oh, and he did it all while battling spina bifida,
a condition that stirred persistent back issues.
