Sure, his father was in the NBA but Tajh has been putting in the work to create his own name. He\u2019s a five-star recruit hailing from Los Angeles and ranked top 10 in the Class of 2026. Oh, and he just collaborated with the legendary Nipsey Hussle\u2019s The Marathon Clothing brand, making it TMC\u2019s first major NIL partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not on the Tajh bandwagon, we suggest you board soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Southern California roots run deep for the 6-9 junior. Not only did his father, Trevor, win an NBA championship with the Lakers, but his mother, Lana, grew up on Nipsey and his impact. Now Tajh is forging his own path, not only with a West Coast staple, but also on the court at Westchester High School (where his dad starred back in the day).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2560\" data-id=\"821925\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slamonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/561A4133-2-4-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-821925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slamonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/561A4133-2-4-scaled.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.slamonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/561A4133-2-4-720x900.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/www.slamonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/561A4133-2-4-864x1080.jpeg 864w, https:\/\/www.slamonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/561A4133-2-4-120x150.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.slamonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/561A4133-2-4-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.slamonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/561A4133-2-4-1229x1536.jpeg 1229w, https:\/\/www.slamonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/561A4133-2-4-1638x2048.jpeg 1638w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2560\" data-id=\"821924\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slamonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/561A4162-4-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-821924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slamonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/561A4162-4-scaled.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.slamonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/561A4162-4-720x900.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/www.slamonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/561A4162-4-864x1080.jpeg 864w, https:\/\/www.slamonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/561A4162-4-120x150.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.slamonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/561A4162-4-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.slamonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/561A4162-4-1229x1536.jpeg 1229w, https:\/\/www.slamonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/561A4162-4-1638x2048.jpeg 1638w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The recently announced collaboration is very intentional. Comprised of graphic heavy tees, the limited edition capsule collection features designs inspired by both Ariza and his Westchester teammates. The color scheme\u2014consisting of red, white and black\u2014pays homage to Westchester\u2019s palette and Tajh\u2019s Japanese roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A bulk of the proceeds will go to support the Westchester High School basketball team, a local public school, and their efforts to grow as a program and compete nationally.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The debut of this highly anticipated Los Angeles alliance takes place tonight during the Westside Tip-Off Classic, where Westchester will be seen rocking the collection on opening night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The late Nipsey Hussle had a dream of building up his community. While he is no longer physically here with us, his legacy lives on and Tajh\u2019s journey begins while carrying the torch. This newfound union between Ariza and TMC proves that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>To help support the Westchester basketball program, the Tajh Ariza x TMC Collection can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themarathonclothing.com\/collections\/tmc-x-westchester-basketball\">here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-35d944f9-7fff-a031-c291-1a08fc332e3e\"><div><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\"><\/span><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tajh Ariza has always had game.
