The clip showed Aloni showing off his smooth lefty stroke to hit a corner 3-pointer with ease. The former Washington Wizards star’s youngest son plays for the Compton Magic in the Grassroots 365 league, a sought-after basketball program for boys.

This time, Arenas went coast to coast and scored a layup despite getting fouled. He shrugged off the full-court pressure, attacked the rim against multiple defenders, and drained a tough shot.

In mid-November, Laura Govan shared a more comprehensive clip of Aloni Arenas' highlights. She used a post rather than a story to put the limelight on the rising basketball phenom. The Basketball Wives LA star wrote:

“My Other Killa … 🏀❤️💪🏽”

Govan is unsurprisingly ecstatic for her son, but scouts are just as bullish about Aloni. Basketball observers have already predicted a bright future for the middle grader.

Scope Scouting agreed with Govan’s assessment:

“He has a quick first step and elite ball-handling. His change of pace is exceptional, allowing him to shift gears seamlessly and get into the paint with ease.

“A lefty with a smooth shooting stroke, Aloni is also a dangerous threat from deep. His range and accuracy make him a consistent perimeter scorer."

Compton Magic have multiple games left in their schedule. No one will be surprised if Govan continues to elevate Arenas with timely highlights on Instagram.
