Alijah Arenas, son of former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas, is considered among the best high school basketball stars. His team, the Chatsworth Chancellors, took on the El Camino Real Royals on Friday. Several basketball personalities, including renowned sports agent Rich Paul of Klutch Sports and LA Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue, dropped by.

Chatsworth dominantly won that game, 72-51. Alijah led with 22 points. His teammate, Taj Unuakhalu, also had a double-double (16 points and 11 rebounds).

After the game, Alijah was seen taking pictures with Paul, who later introduced him to Lue.

Rich Paul's agency represents some of the biggest names in basketball, including LeBron James, Ben Simmons and Trae Young. He is also engaged to Grammy-winning singer, Adele.

Alijah Arenas stepped up his game and his performance has gotten fans talking.

"Ohhhh.... so this is why @no.chill.gil be on Bron n*ts so hard, and disrespecting Kobe... Alijah will be on klutch sports," opined one hoops fan.
