OKLAHOMA CITY -- Meet Brindisi Milton, the girl on the basketball court with the biggest smile.

She may be in a wheelchair, but after watching her it’s clear that she doesn't let it slow her down.

"We tell her she can be and do anything she wants to do, said Mattie Milton, Brindisi’s grandmother. “She just has that dimeanor about herself”.

Brindisi was one of more than 400 campers at Kevin Durant's camp this week, but she stood out to her coaches and it wasn't because of her chair.

"She probably had the best attitude of all these campers, she never got down, she was back and forth up and down the court trying to chase these kids around," said camp coach Jason Thompkins.

"I think they realize they have a better opportunity because they can walk but yet at the same time nothing's stopping her. So she keeps going. She can play basketball, she does everything that they do."
