Alijah Arenas Goes Off for 37 Points at Capital City Classic

[@tonesocold]

24 was giving them boys hell tho🤣

[@danandrewavelino670]

number 24(White/blue team) was balling too

[@MeechYaboy]

He has the old man, change of pace game already… gonna be lethal.

[@cam2mitsuo]

What’s crazy is that the blue and white team is a 2a school, very small. The whole team is 10% of the high school 😳😳

[@RickRijuanaPro]

What was impressive was the Pioneers sharing the basketball cutting and setting screens to get easy shots

[@Martin199320]

I was very impressed by that especially considering how outsized they were, plus number 24 caught my attention, the whole team in general. They were hitting some clean shots

[@Hush121]

His dad wasn’t at this game so he was like ima play a lil lazy let my team get involved😂but he’s an amazing baller who’s IQ is beyond his years

[@KNJBHV23]

Them refs was calling them trash charging calls.

[@djblessone]

they were clearly helping the team that looks like their families.

[@Bball204-f5y]

One of the refs is literally black 😂

[@Michael-vw4cg]

I’ve never seen so many BS charges ever in my life 😂😂😂

#24 LOCKED IN! 🔥

[@lorenzomayfield6487]

kid got so much potential, but a lot to work on.

[@LamonntOnTwitch]

Special breed fr ! No media cap on his name

[@_OT9]

It is some media cap on his name this kid is 17 and the 11th grade playing average high schoolers while it’s a 17 year old kid a DUKE right now playing against NBA talent he has to stop playing down in competition if he’s going to be a 30ppg nba star like they say he will just ask emoni bates who never played prep ball because he wanted to dominate average kids

[@damoncherry5649]

@@_OT9He’s just practicing bro.. just mastering his skillset.. why use bates as example instead of lamelo.. he goes to public school but he hoops with pros.. so it’s not like he don’t see comp

[@_OT9]

@ lamelo went to a prep school and played a national schedule his senior year I used bates because bates stayed home and played local regular talent which made him look like a #1 pick 30ppg prospect

[@damoncherry5649]

@ oh ok I get you.. I just think he will be ok.. because he’s all skill and finesse.. he’s actually learning how to score.. he’s tall but he’s not all that talented or physically superior to everyone else.. He has a real game

[@_OT9]

@ talent wise yes but he doesn’t care about winning he doesn’t care about chemistry he may not know how to even play team basketball he’s loses to teams that they should blow out if we just going by talent and him being the tallest kid on the court every game with all the hype around his name why does it not equal to wins I’m sure he can score 1on1 vs any body but at the next level he’s going to have the other team best defender that’s older stronger smarter and experienced with a athletic 7footer waiting at the rim for him how long is it going to take for him to adjust to that after play 6’3 centers in high school every day playing pro runs is cool but it’s just work its not close to a real game

[@bighou2359]

I really like his game and I'm rooting for the best for him. I just gotta call it out, he's not gonna get better by beating up Poindexters.

[@calebhalgren5619]

He lost by 10 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@djblessone]

@@calebhalgren5619 because it took 11 players on that other team to stop him and he still torched them

[@Bball204-f5y]

Yeah he definitely tough but it don’t matter how many he puts up if they still lose 🤷‍♂️

[@howarddickersonjr.6994]

@@Bball204-f5yluckily he wins more than he loses

[@reachllnx3954]

It’s funny yall say this cause what type of competition do u think his father was going up against in Hs? It was similar to this Gil is trying to build a 30 point scorer in the NBA go watch some Kobe hs film also and tell me who he was going against

[@jacentb570]

You know it’s light work when you can hoop in a long sleeve shirt

[@tonesocold]

bro out there just having his way tuff

[@flavanthensome]

Is he actually playing the 1, or is he like a point forward?

[@Mike-s2m3o]

Once his athleticism catches up with skill he’ll be an all star

[@jordanb39]

Show the live score on the bottom left

[@deshaunmcdonald5468]

I haven’t seen a more graceful hooper since Michael Beasley

[@mighthookya2637]

Kid is going to be really good

[@djblessone]

Man it's clear who the refs were rooting for .😂

[@Bball204-f5y]

Someone’s salty that they lost to a team with 100 kids in their school💀

[@calebprimbs]

stfu u just mad yall got terrible chemistry with a ball hog. imagine losing to a small oregon team. dad ain’t it?

[@doctordef324]

I'm waiting to see if he can lead his team to a high school state championship !!! That will tell it..! If he's that type of dominant STAR , he won't be stopped by mediocre competition. He'll excel ..... We shall see.

[@itsalexvictor4597]

he led his team to a high school state championship last year but lost. He scored 44.

[@doctordef324]

@itsalexvictor4597 that's what I'm saying. I want to see him WIN IT!!! lead them there and close the deal...With his talent for basketball, he has to carry his team. He could drop 60 points but if the team loses, then he ain't a winner. Winners win , no matter how sorry your teammates are. No matter the competition. Conquer high school, conquer college = he's a pro. He training with pros, people anticipating him a pro. Let's see him win at the lower levels first... We watching..😎

[@deseansmith3391]

An L is crazy

[@deseansmith3391]

That team was not good

[@TheXavierMalveaux]

Agreed. Gil better teach some kind of defense or sense of urgency. This ain’t finna fly at any next level. I understand it’s light work on offense but effort is needed on defense to assure the dub

[@djblessone]

@@TheXavierMalveaux ??? you clearly did not watch the game....its suppose to be 5 on 5 its not Alijah fault his team is not good.

[@Dot82]

Why was he so lazy all game it didn’t even look like he’s invested in the game obviously he’s gonna get away with this now but he couldve played a lot better

[@themoneyman1752]

Chatsworth Slept the Blue and White team frfr

[@edwardkimakaballislifekim_578]

Tuff

[@brendeleepaul]

lol yall realize he only started playing basketball a couple years ago right

[@Tell-lie-vision]

But he has some of the best training in the world so that means literally nothing

[@brendeleepaul]

@ 🎯

[@loudawgs]

Too easy for Arenas! If knew his potential, he easily could have scored 80 points and won that game by himself! His future is bright!

[@mikejones9906]

Gil, come on man, you’re gonna get him hurt playing against this competition. Just enroll him in Arizona early and prepare him for next year.

[@mason784]

He literally reclassified already calm down cuh

[@mikejones9906]

@ Read the comment again but try to comprehend it this time.

[@lucaszook9871]

@mikejones9906 You know they lost right?

[@Yuhhearddd]

@@mikejones9906 people complain about kids getting soft when it’s really the parents

[@mikejones9906]

@@Yuhhearddd There’s NIL in high school now, That’s why Monteverdi isn’t even a top 10 team.

[@S.C.-wo8hq]

That team had no height, no athleticism, and was still getting buckets.

[@Martin199320]

and they have a full understanding on the fundamentals of the game of basketball. They were definitely undersized though, but much wider in terms

[@YcMdattGUY]

why his ass look big as hell like 7ft lol

[@YLTTrug]

top 5 pick 2026 u can book it

[@JayTyme]

Alijah seems like he's playing against jv players.

[@thadeuskushington7103]

He's the tallest player on his team and has never been challenged by real prospects yet. Looks like a church league everytime he plays 😂

[@Tell-lie-vision]

He doesn't have a left hand though

[@TAXFREETV1993]

10:55 what are you talkin about

[@Captain_ObviouslyRight]

How old is he? I was under the impression that he moved up to 2025 while within the age range of most 2026 "Juniors" 🤔 Im still a fan, just wouldnt be as impressed to find that he turns 21 next year 😂

[@TheXavierMalveaux]

18

[@djblessone]

he's 17 your trying too hard.

[@howarddickersonjr.6994]

He’s 17 and he’s reclassifying back to his right grade. He should be a senior but he was held back in 2nd grade because of the rules of the elementary school he went to. He’s now in his right class and he’ll be on a college campus by June

[@Captain_ObviouslyRight]

@djblessone "you trying too hard" says the guy with doo-doo hanging from his head 🤣

[@ThrillFinity]

Damn his team is trash

[@Jameson888-h7n]

Yet they still lost to my 2a school hahaha

[@Yuhhearddd]

He a nba prospect you think they care if he lost in the capital city classic

[@deseansmith3391]

Yeah 24 will be playing at that college there playing at

[@Tell-lie-vision]

They lost this game because he doesn't pass.....
