i will admit basketball is not one of the sports i could immediately see him in ! however i CAN see it in an AU where till grew up with io :> growing up, ive always seen basketball as a 'people's sport' / community sport, along with volleyball and badminton, since those are some of the most common community bonding activities in my hometown. yk like fun activities a group of friends can get into after classes or on the weekends without needing much outside of an open, flat area and a couple of equipment. thus, i can see till getting into basketball as one way to connect with his peers outside of his music and art. i cant see him pursue it professionally, but i can see it as one of his recreational hobbies !
