NBA legend Gilbert Arenas and Laura Govan’s sons, Alijah Arenas and Aloni Arenas, are slowly making their way into the basketball world. The 'Basketball Wives' alum often flaunts her kids' achievements via her social media handles.
She took to Instagram on Friday to share a picture of the Arenas brothers training together. The text in the Story read:
“The Arenas Brother In The Lab.”
She added a GIF reaction, showing enthusiasm about the recent development.
“Brothas @aloniarenas @alijah0arenas,” she captioned the snap on her Instagram story.
Aloni Arenas seem to possess the athleticism that runs in the Arenas family. Although he is only in middle school, he is already an emerging basketball star. Alijah Arenas reacted to his brother’s basketball skills on Friday.
Instagram account 'The Hoop Spill' shared a video of Aloni showcasing his talent. Alijah shared the post with the caption:
"He's different."
Alijah has been training with NBA stars over the summer and the resemblance between the brothers has not gone unnoticed.
“At first glance, he looks a lot like his older brother Alijah Arenas, who’s been working out with NBA stars all summer despite being a junior in high school,” content producer Derrick Echols II told ESPN’s ‘SportsCenter Next.’
“Aloni is putting in work against high schoolers despite being in middle school.”
All the Arenas siblings are flourishing in their respective basketball classes, displaying an ardent passion for basketball.
NBA presence at Alijah Arenas’ Chatsworth game
Renowned basketball agent Rich Paul and LA Clippers coach Tryonn Lue were in attendance at Chatsworth’s game against El Camino Real. Laura Govan also expressed her excitement regarding the same on Instagram.
She proudly shared photos and videos of the game. The posts featured Paul introducing Alijah to Tyronn Lue.
“Look at who came to see my baby play @alijah0arenas. If you know then you know!” she captioned the post.
During the game, Alijah Arenas shone as he contributed 22 points to Chatsworth's decisive 72–51 victory. His teammate Taj Unuakhalu also added a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds. This win pushed Chatsworth to a 12-5 record and secured them second place in the West Valley League standings.
Cleveland High School leads the league, but Chatsworth remains a strong contender. Alijah’s impressive and consistent performance is a huge factor that favors Chatsworth.
Elite NBA figures seem to recognise his talent, which suggests a promising basketball future for the young star. Fans eagerly await Chatsworth’s upcoming matchups as they look forward to watching Alijah play.
