Ariza s basketball story of earning $100 million in failed marriage

Recently, many Chinese media reported that former NBA player Ariza filed for bankruptcy. I checked Ariza's social media and US news, but did not find similar reports. However, when Ariza filed a lawsuit against his ex-wife Brie Anderson in March this year, he did submit a latest personal property report to the court. The report showed that he was now underpaid, including owing bank credit cards and checks of $230,000. In addition, there was a $4.7 million mortgage that had not been paid. The purpose of his submission was to stop paying $14,000 in monthly support to his ex-wife Anderson, but the woman did not agree. Both parties are presenting their own evidence and the case is under trial.

Chinese fans are very familiar with Ariza. He is an iconic figure of the league's 3D player. He has an 18-year career and is an evergreen in the NBA. He has accumulated many Chinese fans for assisting Kobe in winning the championship and his outstanding performance in the Houston Rockets. Everyone affectionately calls him "Ironza", but his current situation is still unparalleled. Today's NBA character Zhi will bring you the divorce story of Ariza and his two wives.

There is a joke in the Chinese Internet that people are not as good as dogs when they are middle-aged. When men reach middle age, they are like walking on the river of thin ice. They must be careful every step. Once they are not careful, they may fall into the ice cave. Those unsatisfactory things are like ice chips and are at the same time they are in a bad situation of struggling with their disciples. Since the end of the NBA 2021-22 season, Ariza has never been able to get a ball job again. He keeps on news reports because of his protracted divorce lawsuit with his ex-wife Brie Anderson.

The relationship between husband and wife has never been a responsibility from sweet love to tense and being in court. I like the song "Past" sung by He Jie and Chen Chusheng. There are a few lines in it that are very well written: "If I love you, the way I am different from the beginning. It is better for us to change the position and look at the original appearance. I am afraid of the persistence, silent rest, and romance is dripping through the stone by the years, but it is scattered but I have never noticed it." The grand wedding held by Ariza and Bree Anderson in 2017 is still vivid in my mind. They should really calm down and analyze why the vows of the past have reached this point. The relationship between Ariza and Bray Anderson was first published in 2010. Ariza brought Anderson to attend an event in the Houston Rockets and claimed that the man was his fiancée. Before dating Bray Anderson, Ariza had a failed marriage. He married Lana Allen and had a son named Tajh. Tajh is the name of Ariza's brother who died in an accident. That is another sad story.

Ariza was born in Miami, USA on June 30, 1985. His biological parents divorced when he was very young, which to a certain extent affected his view of love. Later, Ariza lived with her mother. His mother Lolita was a beauty pageant in the former Turks and Caicos Islands, and his stepfather Kenny McClary was a professional basketball player. Although he failed to join the NBA, he played in basketball leagues in many countries such as Argentina, Australia, Brazil, and the Philippines. He made up for Ariza's lack of fatherly love, and Ariza's basketball interests were also cultivated by him. In March 1996, Kenny McClary was playing in the Venezuelan Professional League. One night he played in Caracas, Ariza went to watch the game live with his mother Lolita, and his half-brother 8 The younger brother Kenny and the younger brother Tajh, 5, were left in a high-rise hotel and were taken care of by a nanny. Ariza now has a deep memory of the situation that day. His stepfather was suddenly replaced in the game, and then he hurriedly left the field. His departure triggered a huge commotion on the court, everyone stood up, and then his mother left. The announcer told the fans on the scene to keep calm. Ariza was left alone in the court and was at a loss. Later, he was taken away by the security guard and took a motorcycle to the hotel. The hotel was surrounded by police and ambulance. When he returned to the room, he learned that his younger brother Tajh had opened the window and climbed out from the 30th floor of the hotel and caused a tragedy.

This incident made Kenny McClary feel heartbroken and directly led to his divorce from Ariza's mother. In this way, Ariza became a single child again. Ariza was also full of affection for his younger brother Tajh, so when he had his own child in 2008, he immediately named his younger brother.

Ariza's eldest son Tajh

But Ariza and Lana Allen's relationship did not get better due to the birth of a child. On the contrary, the two divorced two years later. At that time, Ariza played for the Los Angeles Lakers and her career reached its first peak. He tried hard to obtain custody of the child. Finally, he reached a settlement with part of the cash compensation and $13,000 in monthly support. Later, Ariza met Bree Anderson again. After the two were together Anderson gave birth to Tristan and Taylor, a son and a daughter.

Ariza and Anderson held a massive wedding in Los Angeles on July 30, 2017. Many VIPs attended the wedding, including Rockets teammates Chris Paul, James Harden, NBA player Dorrell Wright, and Kylie Jenner of the Kardashian family, etc. American rapper Travis Scott performed for them on the spot, but now when recalling this lively wedding, it is undoubtedly more sad..

There are only good mothers in the world, and there is a huge gap between stepmothers and stepsons. Tajh and Bree Anderson get along very unhappy. Ariza always plays ball everywhere and is negligent in discipline. Occasionally, he hears his wife complaining about Tajh when he goes home. Once a man takes care of his children, he will naturally be more severe, which undoubtedly increases the conflict between father and son. In 2020, his ex-wife Lana Allen filed a lawsuit in the court for abusing his son. Tajh, who also applied to the court for custody of the child and applied for a visit injunction, claimed that Ariza committed corporal punishment on Tajh and provided many photos of Tajh's injury. The two had a long battle for custody. The lawsuit directly led to Ariza missing the Orlando campus rematch that year. Finally, after a long trial and investigation, the court rejected Lana Allen's lawsuit, and Ariza continued to have custody of his son without guilt.

This lawsuit was caused by Ariza's support for his wife. His wife Anderson should be content, but not long afterwards, the relationship between Ariza and Anderson also lit a huge red light. According to an evidence submitted by Ariza in the divorce lawsuit with Anderson in 2022, Ariza was driving one day, and the phone rang. After answering, Anderson found that he was a woman. Then she asked Ariza who the woman was. Ariza did not respond, so she began to pull Ariza's dreadlocks and then started to tear him. This almost caused Ariza who was driving to have a car accident, and then the relationship between the two parties was completely broken.

And the evidence submitted by Anderson shows that Ariza abused her domestically, cheated on her during marriage, and bought a brand new Ferrari sports car for her lover.

This is another protracted divorce lawsuit. The two parties fought for a year and a half around the evidence. In order to deal with the divorce lawsuit, Ariza never returned to the NBA. He made a total of $118.96 million in the NBA. However, except for tax payments, insurance and various consumption expenses, it was verified by the court in September 2022. At that time, Ariza's property included $438,278 in deposits, $1.9 million in stocks and bonds, two real estate worth $6 million, and five cars (two Rolls-Royces, one Maybach, one Cadillac, and one Chevrolet). In other words, after 18 years of hard work, Ariza saved about $10 million in assets.

In January 2024, the two parties reached a settlement and divorce agreement. Ariza paid Anderson a one-time payment of $664,000. She obtained a property in San Diego, California, a 2021 Rolls-Royce and a 2022 Cadillac sedan. Ariza received separate custody of her eldest son Tajh, and a co-custody of her younger son Tristan and her younger daughter Taylor. In addition, Ariza also needs to pay Anderson $14,000 in monthly support.

The wealth accumulated by Ariza's hard work and half of his life directly reduced Anderson's separation. The dispute between the two sides came to an end, but in March this year the conflict broke out again. The cause was that his youngest son Tristan lived with Ariza, but Anderson completely ignored him. On the contrary, his youngest daughter Taylor and Anderson lived. When Ariza wanted to visit him, Anderson deliberately made things difficult. So in March this year, the beginning of the article happened. Ariza submitted a new financial report to the court, demanding the modification of the support relationship. He would next refuse to pay a monthly support of US$14,000.

There is an old Chinese saying that a good wife is less harmful to her. A good wife in the family is better than a thousand hectares of good land. Compared with the success she achieved in the NBA, Ariza's marriage management ability is very poor. As a fan, Ariza's private affairs are more of a melon-eating mentality, but I still hope that everyone can find some life insights from Ariza's failure cases. A good husband-wife relationship is the guarantee of a happy life.
