Basketball Ninjas Declaration of Existence

Basketball Ninjas Official Announcement

Greetings one and all.

We here at the Basketball Ninjas, would like to let it be known that we exist.
Now, this may strike you as a little different, a DoE on our 462nd day of existence, but,
we pride ourselves on doing things a little differently down at the Basketball Ninjas.

Obviously most will have never heard of the Basketball Ninjas,
so I present to you this short graphic novel, which depicts our origins.

In this adventure, we join our heroes Jack Shepard and Hannah Montana,
over one and a half years ago, before the Basketball Ninjas were concieved:
