Gilbert Arenas hypes up his son Alijah Arenas as he represents West team at McDonald’s All-American scrimmage

It is finally McDonald's All-American week, and Alijah Arenas is already in New York City for some scrimmages and media engagements. The rest of his family are in the Big Apple as well, though his former NBA All-Star dad, Gilbert Arenas, was not spotted in the city. The former Washington Wizards star shot a video of ESPN's coverage of his son during the McDonald's All-American week and uploaded it on Instagram on Sunday.

"Let's go! I see you, boy! Yeah, yeah, yeah! Let's get it, West!" Gilbert Arenas said from behind the camera while cheering for his son in the video.

Alijah Arenas was being interviewed by ESPN, along with West teammates Brayden Burries and Tounde Yessoufou. Other notable members of the West team include Darryn Peterson, AJ Dybantsa, Chris Cenac Jr., Koa Peat, Meleek Thomas, and Caleb Wilson.

Gilbert Arenas, who was a three-time NBA All-Star, was never selected to play in the McDonald's All-American game. However, he will be cheering his son on, as was evident from the video. The former NBA player's wife, Melli Monaco, commented on the post.

"😍😍😍, " Monaco commented.
