That Alijah, he is Gilbert Arenas’ boy, you know? That Gilbert, he used to play that basketball, in the NBA. Big star, that one. Now his boy, Alijah, he’s playing too. Good at it, too, I hear. Alijah Arenas, that’s the boy’s full name. He is a big deal, playing that basketball.
They say he’s a “prodigy” or something. Means he’s real good for his age, I reckon. He’s that Gilbert’s son, and that Laura, she’s a TV lady or something like that. Anyways, Alijah, he’s making waves. That’s what they say in them fancy magazines.
Just the other day, they was saying how that Kentucky place, they want him to play for them. He’s in the class of 2026, I heard someone say. Means he’s young, got a few years before he’s gotta go to college. But all them colleges, they’re already looking at him. Five-star, they call him. I don’t know what that means, but it sounds important. Must mean he’s a good basketball player, that Alijah.
I saw on that there live stream thing, they was talking about him. They talk about him all the time on there. They always yap about that basketball. Something about Jacob fell, something or the other. I don’t really know who that is. I just hear them talking about it.
And guess what? Now they sayin’ Alijah, he’s gonna be in the class of 2025. Moving up a year, I guess. That Gilbert, he said it himself. Says his boy is ready. So now all them colleges are gonna be after him even more, I bet. Kentucky, they already offered him a spot, I heard. He is going to choose one to play at.
They say this Alijah, he’s from some place called Chatsworth. In California. That’s far. He plays for his high school there. Now that he’s moving up to be a senior, he’s gonna have to pick a college soon. Big decision for a young fella. Choosing where to play that basketball.
That Gilbert, he used to wear the number 0, I remember. Said it was ’cause folks didn’t think he’d play much. Proved ’em wrong, he did. Now his boy, Alijah, he’s gonna do the same, I bet. He’s gonna show ’em all.
- Alijah plays basketball.
- Gilbert is Alijah’s daddy.
- Alijah is good at basketball.
- Kentucky wants Alijah to play for them.

They saying his recruitment thing is gonna “ramp up”. Sounds like a car going up a hill. Means lots of folks are gonna be wanting him to play for them. He’s a big deal, that Alijah. All because he can play that basketball.
They had some kind of rule, I read somewhere. Something about young fellas and teams. Don’t rightly know the details. Just some basketball rule, I reckon. But this Alijah, he’s gonna be just fine. He’s got his daddy to guide him. That Gilbert, he knows the basketball world.
This boy, Alijah, he’s only 17, they say. Still a young’un. But he’s already making big decisions. Gonna be interesting to see where he ends up. Which college he picks to play that basketball for. I heard he was a junior. Now he is a senior. That’s what that coach, Sam, said. He is the coach at the Chatsworth. That’s where Alijah plays basketball.
Heard some folks say he might leave his high school, go somewhere else to play. Happens all the time, I guess. Young fellas chasing their dreams. Can’t blame ’em, I suppose. Just want to play that basketball.
One thing’s for sure, that Alijah, he’s gonna be a big star. Just like his daddy. Maybe even bigger. He’s got the talent, they say. And the drive. That’s what it takes to make it in that basketball world. Got to want it real bad. He needs to make a choice, for college.
They say he is a 5-star. I don’t know what that is, but it is good. He is a good basketball player, that Alijah. That Gilbert, he must be proud. His boy following in his footsteps. Playing that basketball. Making a name for himself. I just hope that Alijah does good.
I reckon we’ll be hearing a lot more about this Alijah fella in the coming years. He’s one to watch, they say. A rising star in that basketball world. And to think, it all started with that Gilbert, his daddy. He paved the way. Now it’s Alijah’s turn to shine. He is going to be good at that basketball. Just like his daddy, Gilbert. I am sure of it. That boy, Alijah, he is going to be a big basketball star.
