Aaron Gordon partners with underwear company

• The company designs boxer briefs with an emphasis on athletic performance and comfort.

Context: Gordon told us he wore SAXX underwear — on and off the court — before the company approached him for a partnership.

• The forward's partnership will include creating a limited print he tells us will pay homage to his Bat Area roots.

Between the lines: SAXX will make an annual donation to the Gordon Family Foundation, AG's charitable organization that helps underserved kids seeking a STEM education in Denver and Orlando, where he used to play.

• Gordon tells us the STEM focus is thanks to his mother, Shelly Davis Gordon, who's a computer scientist and engineer.

The intrigue: His teammates were scheduled to get a first look at his SAXX commercial, filmed at his Denver home just days after he released a new song (he's dabbled in music too).

• He wasn't sure which one would earn him more praise — or roasts. But he's not nervous: "Listen, I got no shame in my game."
