History
The Basketball Ninjas are an organisation founded by Jack Shepard and Hannah Montana in July 2008. In the early days, the organisation had few fans and little merchandise revenue, so it struggled to pay player contracts. To help offset this, players often sold technology after games or before practice to increase income and growth. This profit margin of the organisation was greatly increased when the Basketball Ninjas signed a lucrative technology selling sponsorship deal with Umbrella. Umbrella became the official licensed technology buyers of the Basketball Ninjas, a sponsorship contract that lasted almost a year.

The Basketball Ninjas organisation tended to grow in separate waves, and as a result had several groups of players which were huddled together around similar strengths and skill levels. On May 5 2009, the smaller, less experienced Basketball Ninjas were split off to form the BN Academy, A developmental team where less experienced players could learn and grow together, and have a set criteria which would need to be achieved before being called up to the main Basketball Ninjas Roster.
