Shaq explains how athletes go broke...
Pro basketball player Shaquille O'Neal, also known as Shaq, tells the story of how he spent his first NBA check. He explains how many athletes go broke because they're unaware of the taxes that come into their first professional checks, and the advertised number is not as it seems.
