Trevor Anthony Ariza (born June 30, 1985 in Miami, Florida) is an American professional basketball player in the National Basketball Association who plays for the New Orleans Hornets.
Ariza played AAU basketball for 4d, a traveling youth basketball team that had numerous All-Americans[who?] on the roster. Ariza attended Westchester High School in Los Angeles, California, where as a junior he combined with teammates and fellow future NBA players Hassan Adams, Brandon Heath, and Bobby Brown to lead the Comets to the California State championship.
After one season at UCLA Ariza declared for the NBA draft and was a second round choice (43rd overall) of the New York Knicks in 2004.
Ariza started his rookie season coming off the bench; at 19 he was the second-youngest rookie in Knicks history to play in 80 games. As the season progressed he impressed coach Larry Brown enough to start 12 games. In Ariza's second season, he played in 36 games and started in 10. In February 2006, Ariza was traded along with Penny Hardaway to the Orlando Magic in exchange for Steve Francis. After the trade he played in 21 games and averaged 4.7 per game. In the 2006-07 season he played in 57 games and started in 7, averaging a career high 8.9 points and 4.4 rebounds per game.
Living in a world, based on indifference, and intolerance. Were believing lies claiming ignorance, and denying the facts like there wont be consequence. And as we turn our backs and we walk away. There's hundreds people dying every single day.
It makes me sad to think about, the thousands of kids forced kill without, a justifiable reason. Handed a gun and raped of all thought and decision. Brain washed and forced to fight, not for freedom and not for there lives. Murderers at the age of thirteen. Killing for there country, reasons so obscene. And still thousands fight and thousands die, and know one seems to be wondering why. But we do nothing, we do nothing. And there, killing for greed and power. Killing to kill them all. Killing for god. Genocide
