Special Olympics breaks stereotypes, says Sam Perkins
Posted Jan 26, 2017
Former NBA player Sam Perkins is going around the world spreading the word to accept people with intellectual disabilities. He is also a member of the Selection Committee for the Special Olympics. Perkins said seeing other disabled people getting ill-treated made him work for their cause. "I got to know Special Olympics when I was at a college in North Carolina."
