Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas' son, Alijah Arenas, is the No. 3 recruit in the Class of 2026, but he has recently reclassified to 2025. The 6-foot-5 small guard continues to impress hoops fans with his skill on the court.
Alijah dropped a spectacular performance on Thursday during the Chatsworth Chancellors' clash against the Crenshaw Cougars.
Ballislife's Instagram handle posted Alijah's clip from the game on Friday. The 5-star recruit could be seen dribbling past two before shooting and eventually scoring. Next up in the compilation was Alijah receiving a lobbed pass and dunking it in. Then he scored in a 1v1 situation.
There were a few instances when it looked like Alijah was trapped and might not beat the defenders. But the youngster rose to the occasion every single time.
"Alijah Arenas was looking like a man amongst boys in his W against Crenshaw High School 😤💪 @alijah0arenas," the caption read.
Gilbert Arenas took a hilarious jab at his son's opponents in the post's comment section.
"@omarepps man what happen once u left? 😂😂 #quincymccall needs to show up," he wrote.
