Gilbert Arenas’ daughter has arrived. The spotlight frequently shifts among Agent Zero’s three talented kids, and this time, it’s his daughter Hamiley taking center stage. We often see the ninth-grader posing with a smile next to her dad and soon-to-be stepmom, Melli Monaco. Cut to the court, she is one of the strongest, dropping big-scoring performances to uphold the legacy her father left behind. After a terrific debut game leading Notre Dame, she is back at it again, leaving Shaquille O’Neal’s daughter and more awestruck.
With the crowd cheering on the side, Hamiley recorded 30 points and 6 rebounds against Ventura. ‘Best Freshman in the country’ claims surfaced on social media as her performance caught the attention of the legends. As Hoops Pill highlighted Hamiley’s achievements, Shaquille O’Neal’s youngest daughter was one of the first to drop a comment to hype her up. “TuFFFF,” Me’Arah commented on the post.
Hamiley’s father also dropped a comment, adding three fire emojis in appreciation. Among the flood of comments was former Warriors star Matt Barnes, who added the ‘genes’ emoji. The HC of Notre Dame, Jena Laolagi, said, “She’s different,” along with a fire emoji.

During their matchup against the Venice Gondoliers, Notre Dame secured a commanding 78-20 win. Hamiley contributed a stellar performance, firing up with 22 points and 17 rebounds.

Sharing a clip from her game on her social media, she wrote, “My boo @hamileyarenas0 22 points 17 rebounds 🤯.” Monaco shared another post and left a sweet comment, praising Hamiley’s efforts.
“My boo EATIN,” she wrote. Reflecting on Hamiley’s standout games in her freshman high school year, there’s no doubt we’ll witness more exceptional performances. But her debut matchup against Campbell Hall is something worth gushing over. While her brother Alijah scored an impressive 32 points in his junior year debut, Hamiley wasn’t far behind, putting up 27 points.

“She went crazy in her high school debut,” Alijah wrote on his social media while the former Golden State Warriors star Gilbert Arenas also shared a snippet from the game and wrote, “@hamileyarenas0 With her 27 points and 13 rebounds, high school debut.” Well, as Barnes aptly put it, “It’s in the genes!”
