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.

    I honestly don't think they do I graduated in 2003 I don't remember them teaching me that now my senior year we did mock job interviews and I had a student from UCF come visit us and explain on how $10 an hour back then was not a lot of money. ​@@cameronbrown367

    They used to teach that in 12th grade before students graduated into the real world, especially to the students who were going straight into full time work first, and not straight on into college.
