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.”
