A Little Locker Room Juice
Tuesday, May 2, 2006; Page E09
Whatever happened to drinking fountains? Before Game 4, we spotted Awvee Storey of the Washington Wizards' Largely Inconsequential But Unfailingly Polite Six toting a case of Vitamin Water around the locker room. His personal space also contained SmartWater, and Dasani water, and mango-flavored Gatorade.
Then Antawn Jamison approached and, unprompted, attempted to convince us that Fiji Natural Artesian Water is the world's best. (That water's slogan is "Untouched by Man," which, coincidentally, is also the Wizards' defensive strategy.) And after the Wizards' stirring Game 4 win, Antonio Daniels chugged a mysterious bottle of fluorescent red liquid. Turns out it was tropical fruit punch-flavored Nutri-build III®, a dietary supplement that includes the always-yummy glucosamine hydrochloride, d-calcium pantothenate and cyanocobalamin. Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic form of Vitamin B12 that, like every self-respecting dietary supplement ingredient, has its own Web site ( http://www.cyanocobalamin.com/ ). We can only assume that cyanocobalamin will soon start its own blog.
Anyhow, Nutri-build III® can be mixed with plain water, or with Fiji Natural Artesian Water, or with a "fluid replacement beverage" of your choice. Daniels is particularly partial to a blend of tropical fruit punch-flavored Nutri-build III® and "orange-orange" flavored Vitamin Water.
"It tastes like something from Dairy Queen when you do that," Daniels confided to us yesterday. "I don't know the exact terms, but it puts whatever goes out of you back in you."

Talk about drinking the Kool-Aid. Fresh off our exposé of Antonio Daniels's secret weapon -- tropical fruit punch-flavored dietary supplement Nutri-build III® -- we walked into the Wizards' practice yesterday and what did we see? Gilbert Arenas downing a bottle of tropical fruit punch-flavored Nutri-build III®.
"This is why I play so good," he was saying. We looked around the court. Brendan Haywood had a bottle of the red stuff. So did rookie Andray Blatche. Strength-and-conditioning coach Drew Cleary told us that 12 of the Wizards' 15 players are Nutri-build III® believers.
