Charlotte Hornets forward and former University of Kentucky Wildcats champion Michael Kidd-Gilchrist hosted a basketball camp for 60 Special Olympics athletes at the Joe Craft Center in Lexington, Kentucky.
Kidd-Gilchrist, who suffers from a speech impediment, said that he relates to the Special Olympics athletes because of the struggles he has faced dealing with his speech impediment.
