It was a beautiful day in wherever the Sonics live. Sonic Knuckles and Talls were playing basketball. Well Sonic and Talls were, Knuckles had been put on the sideline because he popped the ball too many times. It was then that Sadow walked by.

"Hey! Sadow!" Sonic called from the basketball court "How about joining us for a game of b-ball!"

Sadow stopped in his tracks "B-ball….?" His mind flashed back to that day….that day on the basketball court…the day everything changed… It was 50 years ago. The day of the annual basketball game between the scientists of the ARK and the G.U.N soldiers. Everything was going as planned…until…"MARY!" Sadow called out to his friend but it was too late…before he could react the basketball hit her. Sadow rushed to his friends side

"Sadow….." she said, the last bits of her basketball sprit leaving her body "Please…for the people of that planet….give them a chance… to play…basketball…"

"MAAAARRYYYYYY!" Shadow cried flashing back to present day and falling to ground writhing on the basketball court

"Haha what a dork" Sonic said kicking Sadow in his ribs.

"Sonic!" Talls cried running over to Sonic.

"Yeah? What is it?" Sonic asked continuing to kick the black Sonic .

"Ah- uh… w-well its Geeman again...he-he's uh…"

"He's what, Talls?!" Sonic asked growing impatient at the young yellow sonic .

"Ah! W-well he's he's trying to take over the world again… he's built a basketball team of robots a-and he's gonna take over the world with them!" the boy stuttered out.

"Basketball robots?" Sonic asked "How's he gonna take over the world with those?"

"H-heh don't you know anything, blue hedgehog…?" Sadow said finally coming out of his flashback induced convulsions "B-basketball is loved by-STOP KICKING ME-loved by millions if Geeman can control that kind of power…."

"He could rule the hearts and minds of everyone in the world…" Talls said worriedly

Sonic grinned "Heh well it's no big deal! We'll just stop him like we always do!"

"Hmph well good luck with that" Sadow said standing up and brushing himself off

"You won't help us?" Sonic asked

"I don't have time for your petty basketball games" he said walking off.

Later that night Sonic and Talls were in their house or wherever they lived.

"S-sonic…what're we gonna do about this…." Talls said said sitting uncomfortably close to Sonic

"Well….there's only one thing we can do….we'll have to make a basketball team unlike any other and defeat Geeman at his own game!"

"But Sonic…none of us knows how to play basketball."

Sonic sighed and stared ahead deep in thought and then it came to him. But no… how? It was a crazy idea but it would just have to work…"Michael Jordan…" Sonic said…almost whispered.

Talls gasped "But Sonic! M-Michael Jordan has been dead for years! Ever since the great b-ball disaster 40 years ago!"

Sonic sighed" l know Talls but…it's our only hope… we have to find a way somehow….."

"Well…okay Sonic…If you say so….hey you wanna mack it or what…?" Sonic sighed

"Ugh…yeah sure okay…" And they did.
