Taxes may keep NBA free agents away from OKC

With NBA free agency in full swing, many players are looking for the next town to call home.

According to a new study, Oklahoma City may not be as attractive as some other NBA cities.

Americans for Tax Reform has released a study about the tax burden each athlete faces.

The study found athletes in Oklahoma City have to play 2.2 games just to pay their taxes. That number is lower for athletes playing for 10 other teams, including the Dallas Mavericks, Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls.

California takes the most from its athletes. They must play 5.5 games just to pay their taxes.
