Laura Govan, former wife of the three-time NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas and mother of Notre Dame Sherman Oaks Knights' guard Hamiley Arenas, has shown her support for her kids. All of them play basketball and their mother backs them through her social media and by attending their games.
Govan, who is the coach of the 15U EYBL team, shared a picture of a billboard of the team on her Instagram story on Friday:
"My babies," Laura Govan captioned her story and tagged Hamiley Areans and the team with a pink heart emoji.

The mother-daughter duo has been impressive in their respective roles at the EYBL Session I event in Arizona. They finished with a 3-2 record, starting with a 64-47 loss against Mokan Elite and a 57-53 win against Mountain West Premier on April 25.
Their next match was on Saturday, April 26, where they defeated Cal Stars by a 59-47 scoreline, improving their record to 2-1. In their next match, they faced the league-leading All Iowa Attack and lost 59-38. Their third win in the first session of the EYBL came after they sealed a 61-55 win over Prime Nation on April 27.
Hamiley Arenas was the silver lining for Notre Dame in an otherwise underwhelming season. They finished with a 12-16 overall record and a 0-10 record in the California Southern Section Mission Basketball, where they finished at the bottom spot.
However, in 25 games Arenas played, she averaged a double-double, scoring 23.3 points, grabbing 10.5 boards, dishing out 3.1 assists, stealing the ball 2.8 times and recording 0.8 blocks per contest.
Furthermore, she also led the Knights in major stats, including total points, rebounds, blocks, steals and FG%, among others.
