NBA trivia is tough, even tougher when it’s about your spouse. But Melli Monaco, wife of former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas, proved she’s not just a supportive partner but also a knowledgeable one. While attending the McDonald’s All-American Games to support Arenas’ son, Alijah, Monaco was pulled aside for a rapid-fire quiz on her husband’s basketball career.
Despite admitting she wasn’t around when Arenas first entered the league, Monaco nailed almost every question, leaving fans stunned with her memory of his career highs, awards, and teams. Her quick and confident answers sparked a wave of reactions online, but one response in particular stood out.

Parker and Bronny, who met at Sierra Canyon High School, have kept their relationship mostly out of the spotlight. Their first public appearance came during the Paris Olympics, where they were spotted together at a Team USA basketball game. Since then, the pair have remained private as Parker focuses on her studies at Spelman College and Bronny continues his NBA journey.
