More than anything else, however, it is their shared love for the game that continues to push them forward. Mohammad, of course, has learned a lot from Hasan, but some words of advice have stuck with him more than others: 'Don’t do what you didn’t work for, and we will always have each other's backs on and off the court.' 'I wish I could be calm as he is,' said Hamad of what he could take from his little brother.

'As I am the older brother I always feel good when my little brother makes his shots or plays good defense and that’s what hypes me up,' added Hamad.Įven after all this time, they are still learning from each other every single day from playing with, training with, and just being around each other.

'When one of us is on, we feed each other and know what is good for us,' said Mohammad.

Having grown up with each other and playing with each other almost all the time, the Hasan brothers now naturally know how to make the most of each other’s potential. 'I have dreamed of that moment since when I was young and it came true,' said Mohammad.īoth played very well for Kuwait with Hamad averaging 14.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.4 assists and Mohammad averaging 12.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game, but were unfortunately unable to advance to the Asia Cup Qualifiers. That is why it makes sense to see both of them share the court for long periods with this Kuwait Club team.Īs a matter of fact, the two were also even able to play with each other on the senior national team for the first time this past February as they suited up for Kuwait at the FIBA Asia Cup 2025 Pre-Qualifers. The brotherly duo have been playing with each other for this Kuwait Club for a long time, at least ever since the FIBA Asia Champions Cup GBA Qualifiers back in 2021. Like big brother Hamad, he’s also been voted by the fans as WASL - Gulf Player of the Week in Week 6 when he recorded 11 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists against Al Sadd. He’s averaging 26.4 minutes in the 5 games he’s played so far, boasting solid numbers of 9.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per contest. The 22-year-old is also an important part of the undefeated Kuwait Club squad in WASL - Gulf. The forward was quick to make a name for himself in the Kuwait basketball circles as well as he was a key player for Kuwait at the U16 Asian Championship in 2015 (11.6 points, 8.3 rebounds per game). 'He was the first one in the family who started playing basketball and then it was me after I saw him play.' 'I started when I knew that Hamad was joining a basketball team,' said Mohammad, the younger of the Hasan brothers. And Hamad Hasan would not have to go far to find one person that was inspired by his play. He quickly rose up the ranks in Kuwait basketball and went from starring at the U18 Asian Championship in 2014 (20.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists per game) to make his senior national team debut at FIBA Asia Cup 2015 (15.8 points, 5.6 rebounds per game as an 18-year-old).īecause of his relatively quick rise to success in the Kuwaiti basketball circles, it was easy to be inspired and motivated by his play. Hamad Hasan is a true baller… as what you would expect from someone who started playing at the age of 10. He’s come close to recording a triple-double, such as when he recorded 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists against Al Nasr Riyadh which led to him being voted by the fans as the WASL - Gulf Player of the Week in Week 4. In terms of traditional statistics, Hamad Hasan is averaging a very healthy line of 11.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.6 assists (Top 10 in WASL - Gulf) in 25.6 minutes per game.

With an average EFF rating of 16.7 per game, Hamad is truly one of the best non-foreign players in WASL - Gulf, trailing only Mohammed Alsuwailem and Babacar Dieng. The 25-year-old guard has been one of the most important players on a team that is leading the competition in average points, rebounds, and assists. While the majority of the teams in the upper half of the standings in their respective groups have made some personnel changes, Kuwait Club have stood their ground with their leading performers.Īnd the reason that those three can put on a show the way that they have been is because of the duo in the lineup that has been balling out for Kuwait Club. One of the key factors is their star-studded trio of Marcus Georges-Hunt, Cody Lalanne, and Jacob Pullen. Moreover, they have been able to win more comfortably as each game passes. After all 6 games of the Group Phase, the mighty club from Kuwait are undefeated.
