6 Degrees of Trevor Ariza
-
Thinking about the highly popular game “6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon” while on a 3 hour car ride, I decided to pose this game to you.
The game is known as 6 Degrees of Trevor Ariza and I challenge all of you to try this out and see if there is an NBA player that has no relation to Trevor Ariza. The rules are as follows:
-The current player cannot have a teammate that has played with Trevor Ariza on any previous team.
-If you can make a connection 5 different times on 5 different rosters without being able to make a connection with any player on that roster to Trevor Ariza, congratulations! You won!
-Using the wonderful website https://www.basketball-reference.com/, you can easily look back at historic rosters to identify whether or not a player has relations to Ariza.
-The game does not have a correct answer, it is meant to see if there is any answer at all.Good luck, and welcome to the wonderful wormhole that I’ve been going through for a half hour.

That’s my bad, what I meant was I don’t have a finite end or answer to the game.

It’s better to guess rookies as they have played with less people.

Technically the current Thunder roster might work since Ariza never played a single game for us. Not sure if that counts though.

All hornets players have the same association.

What makes this hard is trying to figure out a player that hasn’t played with a teammate that’s played with Ariza. Ariza has been traded what to 15 different teams.
Here are some players that comes to mind
- Damian Lillard
- Mike Muscala
- Mike Conley
- Donovan Mitchell
-
Pretty sure there’s literally no one
