Explanation:
My opinion!

If in your text describe that "Streetballkorb" is an outdoor sport, i prefer than the simply translation "Streetball"

If you don´t mean that \"Streetballkorb\" is an outdoor sport, than i would say that the translation in english is \"Streetballbasket\".

Explanation:
Streetball is steet or outdoor basketball. Korb is german for basket. So your piece of equipment is simply a basket for playing basketball outdoors.
