WATCH: Former NBA Champ Trevor Ariza shares snippets of his son Tajh Ariza's latest performance 

The five-star recruit from the Class of 2026, Tajh Ariza, and NBA Champion Trevor Ariza are among the most famous father-son basketball duos. Tajh ranks seventh in the 2026 ESPN 60 Recruiting Database.

As a proud father, the 2009 NBA champion shared highlights of the Westchester High School senior as he displayed a dominant performance for Formula Elite. Check out the highlights below:

Ariza performed pretty sick handles, converting 3s from beyond the arc off the bounce with defenders all over him. He also converted alley-oops, forced turnovers and made catch-and-shoot opportunities.

While the 17-year-old has a long way to go before he starts playing professionally, he talked about having his "own name" in an interview with Slam Online.

“I gotta keep putting in work every day,” Tajh told Slam Online. “You know, my dad [had a] great career, but I want to have my own name and show people like, 'Oh, I want to be like him, you know?' So I just gotta keep working so I can get there.”

The Playa Del Rey, California native averaged 10.3 points and 4.6 rebounds per contest in the Nike EYBL E15 Circuit and 5.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game in his appearances at the Nike EYBL 17U Circuit for Team Why Not.
