Ariza walked onto the Staples Center court Sunday night with his 19-month-old son Tajh in his arms and was greeted by former teammates Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher, who presented Ariza with his championship ring.
As Bryant and Fisher hugged and rubbed heads with Ariza, the Houston Rockets guard became emotional.
"There's no crying in basketball," Ariza said. "But I almost gave it up a little bit."
