About
Ant is a biography of Anthony Edwards, the dynamic young star of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Written by reporter Chris Hine, it covers Edwards’ growth from his early years in Atlanta through to his rapid rise in the NBA.
Some of the key elements:
- His background: growing up in Atlanta, the challenges he faced, and how personal tragedies—such as the passing of his mother and grandmother—have shaped him.
- His basketball journey: being selected as the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, his All-Star appearances, and how he has become one of the faces of the Timberwolves franchise in only a few seasons.
- His personality & mindset: not just his physical skills and highlights, but also what drives him—his ambition, charisma, relationships, and how he balances confidence with the pressure and attention that comes with rising fame.
- Access & reporting: The author uses original interviews, locker room reporting, and insider insight to go beyond surface-level stats. The book also includes 16-20 color photos.
Overall, it portrays Edwards not just as a sports highlight reel, but as a person with struggles, triumphs, and a story still unfolding.
