Gilbert Arenas' younger sister, Hamiley Arenas, made a spectacular high school debut, and his brother, Alijah Arenas, seemed elated. He took to Instagram on Thursday to express his happiness and congratulate his sister for her stunning performance.

“She went crazy in her high school debut,” wrote Alijah Arenas, showing pride for his sister Hamiley Arenas.

Hamiley Arenas made her high school debut for Notre Dame High School against Campbell Hall and delivered an incredible performance, recording 27 points, 13 rebounds and six assists. The game was a perfect opportunity to showcase her skills, and she didn't miss it. However, despite putting in an incredible performance, she couldn't get her team to victory and lost the game 70-75 to Campbell Hall.

Her exceptional display of talent even drew praise from her dad, NBA veteran Gilbert Arenas. The 3X NBA all-star reshared the video featuring his daughter decimating her opponents on the court. He attached a caption brimming with pride as well:
