Quote of the Day
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was an anchor of the Kentucky Wildcats during the 2011-12 college basketball season, known for his lockdown defense and versatility.
It helped him to lead the Wildcats to a national championship and to bring Kidd-Gilchrist the moment every player dreams of — to the NBA Draft. And while it was an amazing moment, it was also a moment he feared as he spoke in front of millions of people watching on television.
Kidd-Gilchrist has a stutter. And when his playing days ended he founded the organization Change & Impact to help people who stutter.
