Making millions of dollars sounds like a dream, but Mark Cuban says it can disappear much faster than people think.
In a 2024 appearance on the "Club Shay Shay" podcast, the billionaire entrepreneur explained that many professional athletes make the same costly mistakes after signing their first big contract.
His advice was simple: "Save your money." Cuban said young players should resist the temptation to spend freely because an NBA career can end in an instant. "One broken ankle and it's over," he said. If he were entering the league today as a player fighting for a roster spot, he said he would still be "living like a student" because "you don't know how long it's going to last."
