Wrote about the three biggest questions facing the Timberwolves and hashed that out and more with @christopherhine.bsky.social on today's podcast. Links! www.startribune.com/timberwolves... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Gonna be at Magers and Quinn tomorrow night. Sign up at their website and come on by!

Start the clock and tell me how long it takes to read! Haha. Thank you!

Great father's Day gift 💯🏀 Looking forward to reading this one @christopherhine.bsky.social

Wow what a great compliment. I appreciate this so much. I’m so glad the ending hit you as I intended it to!

“I miss being around Ant every day.” Perhaps you might like to know how Kevin Durant felt about playing with Anthony Edwards in the Olympics. Here’s some of what he told me for “Ant,” which you can order through various places here: www.harpercollins.com/products/ant...

This is cool. @magersandquinn tells me over 50 people have signed up for my FREE event at their store next Wednesday 6-18. Limited number of seats are still available then standing room seats will be available. Head to their site to sign up! www.magersandquinn.com/event/Chris-...

Thank you so much Dan!

Today's @twowordspod.bsky.social: I spoke with @christopherhine.bsky.social about his book "Ant" Topics included Ant's formative years, how those years affect who Ant is today and Kevin Durant: Apple: tinyurl.com/2w5yr5er Spotify: tinyurl.com/wkh7ywxp Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJbw...

🐺 Two Words: Wolves Pod 🐺 Already missing Wolves action? Go read a book. More specifically, go read "Ant" by @christopherhine.bsky.social! He joined us to talk: → Ant's childhood → Old soul vs Young at heart → COVID draft process → Being a team leader → KD talk open.spotify.com/episode/22HD...

If you'd like a signed copy of "Ant," (by me, not Ant!), I have a limited number of books I can ship out. If you're interested, my DMs should be open.

Thank you so much for this! Appreciate you getting it

For those that want a sample of the book, here’s an excerpt about Ant’s draft workout and interview with the Wolves during the pandemic in 2020: www.startribune.com/anthony-edwa...

I have a lot followers on here and I know it’s because I ended up on NBA lists and not Timberwolves lists. So making a hard sell. If you’re a supporter of journalism, of learning the humanizing stories behind the athletes you watch, please help support “Ant.” www.harpercollins.com/products/ant...

Thanks to Doug for being the ultimate hype man about this

Finished this yesterday. Hard to pack more information into such a quick read. Well done, @christopherhine.bsky.social. Y'all, you'll learn about Ant's childhood. Really learn about it. The 2020 draft process is eye-opening. Rubio to PatBev to DLo (ha) to Conley. And damn, KD just gushes about Ant.

Thank you for the compliment :) appreciate you getting it and digging right in!

We’ve been steadily rising on the Amazon rankings the last few days. Thank you! For those that have started reading or have read it, I love hearing about your favorite parts of the book. Let me know what they are! www.harpercollins.com/products/ant...

This was an excellent chat

The Barnes and Noble in Uptown!

My faves and I have something in common now. We’re all published authors @carolekingofficial.bsky.social

Thank you so much Anji! Thanks for letting me come on the show to promote it too!

The first chapter includes talk of Deion Sanders ducking Ant? Oh I am all the way in, @christopherhine.bsky.social.

Thank you so much for this

Copped @christopherhine.bsky.social

Happy release day, @christopherhine.bsky.social! Excited to dig in!

Talked with @christopherhine.bsky.social about his "Ant" book, which is out today! (We also got into a lot of offseason chatter about the Wolves, too, including Darius Garland) post: www.startribune.com/timberwolves... video pod segment with Chris: www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7fA...

Pardon the photo of a photo. THIS is the anecdote @christopherhine.bsky.social shared with me that I most hoped made the book. That he went to Ant's grandfather's house, saw the hoop in the backyard, the whole nine yards. That is how deep he went.

Winner winner chicken dinner. Time to learn if @christopherhine.bsky.social shared all the good parts of this book in the lead-up or if the whole book is simply that good. (Given some other snippets Chris shared with me in the fall, I am confident it is the latter.)

“Ant” is officially out! So if you pre-ordered it, you should be getting it today or very soon! If you haven’t gotten it, check your local book stores or you can order from various places here: www.harpercollins.com/products/ant...

“Ant” is officially out tomorrow. The last chapter, chapter 11, is called “Always Meet Your Heroes.” All about Ant’s experience in the Olympics. And it just might be worth checking out all that Kevin Durant had to say about playing alongside Ant and his relationship with him.

Doug is the best. Coolest uncle ever!

Tim Connelly on Chris Finch, who Connelly said did a "great" job: "It’s not easy what we’ve tasked him with the last couple of years [multiple major trades]. ... It’s a testament to his intelligence, his ability to be creative and to coach any group we put in front of him."
