He is also a multi sport athlete as he plays basketball, soccer and runs track. Yasin wants to focus on basketball. He thinks basketball is his life. He says that he’s not that amazing yet but he thinks he will get there. His friends tell him to stop wasting his time on basketball but because of his determination he won’t back down. That gives him the motivation to keep playing harder.

His older brothers played ball and there are like 6'6". Yasin is 6’3”One of his brothers went to a D2 school and quit playing. He uses that motivation not to give up.
