We see the world thought the eyes of an immigrant family whose youngest son, Felipe Lopez, became the top ranked high school basketball player in the nation and was touted as the next Michael Jordan.
The son who rose to unimaginable heights in professional career soon tasted the lows, but rose again to win hearts of his fans.
