<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">During the same week in which he's selling the physical lift of his new energy drink, Ben Gordon got a mental lift from Bulls general manager John Paxson. Paxson called Gordon's agent to put to rest an item in Monday's New York Post that said the Knicks recently had made "a serious inquiry'' into whether Gordon was available in a trade. Paxson called the report a "total fabrication'' and said he had not talked with the Knicks since last October. "Paxson swept everything under the rug, so I'm confident that I'll be here,'' Gordon said Wednesday. "I don't want to get traded, and all the rumors bother me sometimes. But Paxson aired it out and said nothing of that nature was going to happen. "When I heard it, it didn't really make much sense to me. It's the NBA, so you never know what will happen. There's nothing I can really do about it. But like I've said before, this is where I want to play for the rest my career. Hopefully, everything will work out that way.'' Gordon said he's getting accustomed to being the subject of trade rumors. "I'm mentally ready for it because it's been happening all season, more so than any other player on the Bulls,'' he said. "I'm sure I'll hear something else throughout the summer, but it's no big deal.'' Gordon hopes his energy drink will be a big deal. BG7 -- as in his initials and uniform number -- will compete with brands such as Red Bull. It's still six to eight weeks away from being available to the public, but Gordon and representatives of H3Enterprises unveiled the drink to the media at One Sixty Blue, an upscale restaurant on West Randolph co-owned by Michael Jordan. Gordon emphasized that the drink is made with white tea, which backers of the product insist has 500 percent more antioxidants and polyphenols than green tea. "It's a great opportunity,'' Gordon said. "I'm going to be one of the first athletes to have their own energy drink. I try to make sure anything I put into my body is healthy.'' It's no secret the popularity of Red Bull took off once people began mixing it with vodka. Given that Gordon described BG7 as having a lime-like taste, he was asked if gin drinkers were a target. "I don't drink, so I'll have a few of my old college buddies test it out and see what they think,'' Gordon said. "I'll be really excited if I see my BG7 in some of the clubs of Chicago. That means I made it big. Hopefully, I can get that going.''</div> Source

Gordon emphasized that the drink is made with white tea, which backers of the product insist has 500 percent more antioxidants and polyphenols than green tea. Damn, that sounds like some good stuff. I'll try it if I ever see it, doubt I'll ever see it though.
