The Rebound w/Michael-Kidd Gilchrist

Michale Kidd Gilchrist was born in Philadelphia and was recognized as one of the best players in America attending St Patrick High School in 2010 with Kyrie Irving in New Jersey. He attended Kentucky and in his first season led the team to a national championship, then declared for the NBA draft. He was drafted #2 and played 10 years in Charlotte. He has a stutter and has embarked on a national stuttering awareness tour.
The NBA veteran regularly takes time to educate others and help those in need of guidance about the challenges with stuttering. He is bringing out awareness, patience and understanding about a misunderstood topic.
“I remember a time when I didn’t want anyone to know about my stutter. When I entered speech therapy at the University of Kentucky, I told my therapist that I didn’t want anyone to know,” he said. “Today, I see my stutter as a gift that I have embraced, and I want to help others who stutter and those who are getting into the field of speech-language pathology.”

ABOUT:
The First exists for the massive group of Americans whose voices have been ignored. The people who are passionate about American values, aren’t afraid to engage big ideas, and who care about where the country is headed. The people who are conservative in their views but aren’t beholden to any party’s talking points. The independent thinkers who rely on things like the facts, context, and perspective to inform their ideology. The people who, although they form the backbone of this country, have been cast aside by the politicians and the media.
The people whose beliefs and values are increasingly being cancelled. They are why we created The First. You are why we created The First.
We’re the home of free speech, free ideas, and free TV.
