Trevor Ariza talks about Tajh Ariza and parenthood

Former Los Angeles Lakers star and the 2009 NBA champ Trevor Ariza made an appearance on the UNINTERRUPTED podcast. He spoke on various topics, ranging from parenthood, morals and principles. Furthermore, he also talked about his feelings on his son being one of the top high school prospects (0:07 - 1:11):

"It's been cool because he lived in North Carolina for middle school, and when he came back to LA, it was like a curve that we had to get to build with each other, like just dad and son first. We're learning each other through difficult times, so when it's dad and son time and I got to be in the house with them, like my dog, like go make your bed or go brush your teeth."

Tajh Ariza has been on the rise, not only on the court but off the court also. The Westchester Senior High School player has a NIL valuation of 209K (according to On3). Which college do you think we will see Tajh playing for?
