If I understand it correctly Germany is now NBA champion.
(Shameless btw)
Well the “N” stands for national and Germany’s a nation soooo…
Pretty sure he meant “basket”.
NBA is now NBG e.V.
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.
So you are saying if we define a third meaning it will have one more than “football”? Sounds like a good start to become the most popular sport.
Additionally the third “Korbball” will be hosted in Germany only and is only accessible to german teams in the NKL, but we still call it the Weltmeisterschaft (World Championship).
There is only one World Cup, and its not a basketball one…
Hockey?
Google “world cup” and find out
I just did and the first three hits were about the men basketball world cup and the next two about the women soccer world cup. What point did you try to make?
And why would that bei?
Cricket, of course.
