Shaq loves his new Ben Gordon action figure.
The height-challenged Chicago Bulls had no business giving Shaq and D-Wade any trouble in the first round of this year's playoffs, but Ben Gordon started dropping bombs from behind the three-point line (he averaged 21 ppg) and they pushed the favorites to six. Now that Ben's been sent fishing for the summer, he's doing what any other athlete hungry for another shot at the title would do: Releasing an energy drink. Here's what BG7 the player had to say about BG7 the liquid.

The casual viewer might say that I have a somewhat limited game. If I drink BG7 every morning, will it make me an NBA superstar?
You know, I don't know if it'll make you an NBA superstar, but it'll definitely help you get clutch in whatever you're doing.

Any plans on sneaking this into the water cooler at practice and tricking your teammates into drinking it?
Nah, you know a lot of my teammates, they already drink energy drinks and stuff like that before the game, but hopefully this is something they'll supplement into the energy drink routine. So we'll see what happens.

Red Bull and vodkas are really popular at clubs—what liquor tastes best with BG7?
I don't really drink alcohol much, but from what I've seen, just in the club, everybody drinks Red Bull and vodka, so hopefully I can get in that mix. The BG7 and vodka—I think it'll mix well.

Who will give you more competition on the market: Nelly's Pimp Juice or Lil Jon's Crunk!!!?
I think right now, we're just targeting the Chicago market, and I think I'll do well out there. I'm not on the level they are yet, but I'm slowly coming up.

Who do you want the Bulls to take with the No. 2 pick in the draft?
I know we need a big man, so, the best big man that's available. Or maybe we could trade it for a veteran to come and help us right away. We definitely need some size.

Who has the crazier basketball fans: your hometown of New York or your team's hometown of Chicago?
I don't know—they're both really good cities. I think the fans here are a little bit tougher. New York, you gotta win right away for the fans to appreciate you, but I think both fans are equally as loyal.

In the match up between Dallas and Phoenix right now, who do you think has the worst hair: Nash or Nowitzki?
I'll probably give it to Nash.

Finally, give us an expert pick on the finals.
I'll say Phoenix and Detroit.

Who do you think's gonna take that?
I don't know, it's tough. Phoenix.

Offense over defense? What's next—Democrats over Republicans?
