Loving the recent spate of content of pro athletes explaining to us all that taxes exist.
Did you know that you don't actually get 100% of your salary?
Someone takes a whole chunk of that shit before you ever see it! It's crazy, man.
Knicks Legend Carmelo Anthony says the thing nobody warns athletes about isn't going broke, it's what it does to you mentally
"That's $100 million, but it's not really $100 million over a five-year span"
"You're talking half your check gone to taxes. Then you gotta live, the house, take care of your mom, your agency fee, all of this stuff happening…"
"And that drastic change of lifestyle messes you up mentally. That's the grey area that gets a lot of athletes"
