NKD e.V. (why would you have English words in a German Verein name).

Because “Basketball” is a German word, i.e. a loanword from English.

That was mostly because the US was so important to the sport. Obviously now that Germany is the centre of the basketball world that will have to change too and the US will have to loan “Korbball” from German.
