Here is video of teen singing sensation Justin Beiber (16 years old) in an interview recently where he was asked if the name "Beiber" is "German" for basketball.

The German word for "basketball" is "Basketball."

"Biber," pronounced the same way as the teen idol's last name is the German word for "Beaver."

The German word for "basketball" is "Basketball."

I've also heard Germans use "Korbball" for basketball ("Korb" means "basket" in German).
