😞 Joe Smith was the 1995 NBA's top pick. During his 16-year career, he played for 12 teams. His NBA career ended in 2011. Seven years later, Smith admitted to living paycheck-to-paycheck. Only $18,000,000 of $61,000,000 went to him due to taxes, agent fees, and management fees. Smith's spending and expensive divorce were bigger issues. Playing 12 teams seemed easy. Unfortunately, every trade required new house purchases, and he lost money selling them. Joe is one of countless people that lost it all and probably not the last.
