If you are the type to be interested in the game of basketball, you would have heard of basketball superstar Trevor Anthony Ariza, popularly known by fans as Trevor Ariza. Tall, bold and handsome, the player is an acclaimed African-American professional basketball player, a member of the Houston Rockets NBA team, where he wears the number 1 jersey, playing small forward and shooting guard.

Trevor Ariza – NBA Career

Born on June 30, 1985, Trevor Ariza has worked as a basketball player since 2004 to date. He turned pro after the 2004 NBA Draft, when he was lucky enough to be drafted by the New York Knicks. Trevor Ariza finally set a record as the youngest player to wear the New York Knicks jersey and play for the team. He played 80 games averaging 5.9 points per game. At the time of his admission to the Knicks team, he was exactly 19 years, four months and four days old.

In February 2006, just two years into his professional career, Trevor and his colleague Penny Hardaway were traded to another basketball team – Orlando Magic in exchange for Steve Francis. The veteran basketball played 21 games averaging 4.7 points for each game.

It looks like Trevor didn’t stay with OrlandoMagic for long because in November 2007, just a year after he joined the team, he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakes team. However, he injured his right foot, which caused him to miss many of his games with the Lakes. Here, Trevor Ariza recorded a career-high 26 points in a game against the Dallas Mavericks with Utah Jazz. Additionally, he was on the Laker’s team when they won the 2009 NBA Championship.

The famous basketball player signed with the Houston Rockets team for over five years with a value of $33 million on July 3, 2009. In a 111-107 win, Trevor scored a career-high 33 points in a game against the Portland Trail Blazers on October 31, 2009. Sadly, the basketball superstar was ejected on December 13, 2009 after he tried to hit DeMar DeRozan of the opposing team, the Toronto Raptors, after stealing the ball from him. His punishment for the infraction was a one-game suspension but he cleared it in the Rockets’ final game of the season on April 14, 2010, where he recorded his first career triple-double.

The baller was traded to the New Orleans Hornets on August 11, 2010 in a four, five-man trade: Courtney Lee going to Houston, James Posey and Darren Collison joining the Indiana Pacers, and finally to Troy Murphy joining the New Jersey Nets. It’s a record that Trevor Ariza has scored a lot of career points in minutes per game, but luck wasn’t on their side as the Los Angeles Lakers beat him in six first-round appearances.

Trevor was again traded to Washington Wizards along with Emeka Okafor in exchange for Rashard Lewis on June 20, 2012. During his career with the Wizards, he recorded several career highs in games against the Houston Rockets, Philadelphia 76ers and the Chicago Bulls. Subsequently, the famous basketball player was acquired by the Houston Rockets for the second time on July 15, 2014 and has been part of the team until now.

Family – Wife (Bree Anderson), Mom

The famous baller was born to his father, TrevorSaunders and Lolita Ariza, mother. He had two brothers, Kenny and Tajh Ariza. Unfortunately, he lost his younger brother, Tajh, on March 18, 1996, when he fell from a hotel window in Caracas, Venezuela, where his stepfather, Kenny McClary, had played. McClay played professional basketball for the University of Florida.

Trevor named his son after his late brother Tajh because he says he was the one who first told him that he would eventually become a professional basketball player. So whenever he shows up on the pitch, he always remembers him in his prayers and tells Tajh to take care of him.

For his love life, Trevor is married to his longtime girlfriend Bree Anderson, a lovely fair-skinned black woman, has three children, two boys and a girl, including a six-year-old boy named Tajh, a three-year-old boy named Tristan and a new baby girl named Taylor. Whenever they make a public appearance, the couple always seem to look so happy with their kids. In many of their photos posted on social media, they are seen arm in arm, beaming at each other or in a romantic embrace. You can easily assume that the duo are living in marital bliss and separation or divorce seems to be miles away from them.
