Biography: sport; Basketball

The first in-depth look at the Minnesota Timberwolves rising star, from his backstory to his mindset, and the relationships that fueled his drive to greatness.

From his jaw-dropping dunks to his charismatic personality, Anthony Edwards draws comparisons to the greatest shooting guards of all time like Kobe and Jordan. A portrait in the education of a budding NBA superstar, Ant chronicles Edward’s meteoric rise. The number-one pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, a two-time All-Star, Edwards has, in just a few seasons, become a household name and the face of the Minnesota Timberwolves. And he’s only twenty-three years old.

With locker room access, original interviews, and fresh reporting by Chris Hine, the Minnesota Star Tribune’s beat writer covering the Wolves, Ant delves into Edwards’ early life in Atlanta, the challenges and family tragedy he overcame, and the relentless determination that has propelled him to stardom.

Ant includes 16 to 20 color photos.

Reviews for Ant: The Incredible Journey of NBA Rising Star Anthony Edwards

""Ant is an essential text on the NBA's most electric superstar, perfect for anyone who's ever wondered how Anthony Edwards is able to balance lovable charm and merciless ambition with the same effortlessness that's on display every time he dunks a basketball."" -- Michael Pina, Senior Writer for The Ringer ""Chris Hine captures Anthony Edwards's incredible journey from tough Atlanta roots to winning a gold medal in the 2024 Olympics with unparalleled insight and storytelling. I've watched Ant grow both on and off the court as the TV analyst for the Timberwolves, and this book is a testament to his rise as a true NBA superstar. Chris couples his deep understanding of the game with a depth of soul as a writer to craft a compelling narrative fans will love. I can't recommend reading this book highly enough."" -- Jim Petersen, Timberwolves Television Analyst ""Hine takes you back to the former No. 1 NBA Draft pick's roller coaster youth where he somehow overcame poverty and the passing of his mother and grandmother during his youth in the Atlanta area. This is a must-read book that explains who the real ""Ant Man"" is from the beginning to today."" -- Marc J. Spears, Senior NBA Writer for Andscape/ESPN
