After a sinus infection led to a condition that drew fluid into his brain, Cory Smith found himself lucky to be alive.  Following four surgeries, Cory refused to let the sitution hold him back.  What was his motivation?  Basketball.

We profiled his courageous story in August, but Gary Payton wanted to do more than applaued Cory.  The Glove flew Smith from Houston to join the crew on FOX Sports Live.
