The budding 20-year old Nuggets star, Carmerlo Anthony, has just released his first book entitled, ?It?s Just the Beginning.?

The book details his life growing up on the rough streets of Brooklyn and Baltimore. He is hoping to reach younger urban kids to inspire them that the dream is possible for them too.

"When my agent, Calvin Andrews, suggested that I write a book about my life, I didn't think anybody would want to read it," Anthony said. "I was wrong. ... My story is a reminder to kids that they can make it, so stay strong because it's just the beginning."
