「從沒見過像他這麼高的人，移動還如此流暢、優雅。」——勒布朗．詹姆斯 「他就像2K（NBA電玩遊戲）裡開外掛的自創球員。」——史蒂芬．柯瑞 「很慶幸我即將退休，不用和他長期對抗。」——凱文．杜蘭特 「我不是馬刺球迷，但我會為了這個高個子來看他們比賽。」——凱文．賈奈特 誰這麼厲害，在文班亞馬13歲時就看出他是可造之材？ 文班亞馬哪裡厲害？狀元哪能全靠天賦，而是小地方刻意練出來。 文班亞馬，剛過20歲，目前效力於聖安東尼奧馬刺隊， 是第一位奪得NBA選秀狀元的法國球員。 NBA年度最佳新秀、最佳防守陣容第一隊、最佳新秀陣容第一隊、阻攻王…… 這些都是文班菜鳥年在馬刺隊就贏得的獎項。 未入選NBA前，《紐約時報》就派專人到法國採訪他， 《ESPN》派了團隊到巴黎製作紀錄片，在平臺上設立文班亞馬專屬區， NBA App甚至為他破例，首次直播非NBA附屬聯盟比賽。 他在踏入NBA的前5場比賽中，就達到單場得分超過35分的成就。 史上只有兩個人比他更強：俠客歐尼爾和空中飛人喬丹。但他當時未滿20歲。 本書作者為法國體育報《隊報》資深記者伊安．歐諾納， 歷時兩年採訪文班的教練、經紀人、家人……並收錄近百張照片， 見證這位被詹皇驚呼為外星人（Alien）的傳奇，邁向NBA狀元的獨家內幕。 也是全球第一本文班亞馬寫真傳記。 ◎13歲就開啟邁向王者之路 文班出生運動世家，爸爸是跳遠、百米賽選手，媽媽曾入選女籃國家隊。 他當過足球守門員，也嘗試過柔道，最終才選擇投入最愛的籃球。 誰是第一眼相中他的伯樂？ 當時經營一間小公司的兩位運動經紀人布納．恩迪亞耶和傑雷米．梅德亞納， 是將文班推上NBA選秀狀元席的推手。 當年的文班才13歲，兩位伯樂從哪裡看出他的特別？怎麼篤定他會成功？ ◎想要融入小個子世界的巨人 理論上，手掌越大，控球穩定度越低，越難投籃。 再加上高個子重心高，身體不平衡，容易有小骨折（像蹠骨、掌骨等）， 文班得比其他人練得更勤、更多： 熊爬（鍛鍊核心肌群，特別是腳部力量）、拳擊（腳步靈活度）、 戴手套控球（手感）、空中同時拋轉3顆籃球（手眼協調）…… 還有，不打球時，他喜歡組樂高：能讓他放鬆，同時訓練手指精準度。 ◎新世代的王者降臨 2022年底，文班受邀參加NBA在拉斯維加斯舉辦的賽事， 在兩場友誼賽中，一共拿下73分，驚豔了勒布朗和柯瑞。 還引爆NBA各

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERNew Yorker's Best Books of 2023．Fortune's Best Crypto Books of 2023好看得令人震驚！——《紐約客》雜誌 麥可．路易士第一次見到山姆．班克曼—弗里德（Sam Bankman-Fried，簡稱SBF）時，這位加密貨幣圈金童創辦的FTX交易所，為全球數百萬滿懷致富憧憬的年輕人，帶來財務自由的希望。他自己也一夜間登上《富比士》億萬富豪榜，成為全球30歲以下的首富。世界各地的名人權貴、小國領導人，都搶著跟他見面及爭取他的資金。 在為期一年多的採訪時間，麥可獲得了獨家洞悉SBF的難得機會，在SBF急速崛起時，他有幸貼身觀察，近距離看著SBF以前所未有的速度，滾出225億美元的財富。麥可曾問SBF，你到底想賺多少錢？無限財富，SBF說。身為「有效利他主義者」，他打算用自己的無限財富來解決人類的生存風險，例如消滅核戰、消滅流行病、消滅有敵意的人工智慧、幫巴哈馬還清國債等等。 但「無限財富」的理想，很快就演變成「無限風暴」。FTX的龐大金融帝國短短幾年內轟然倒下，近百億美元人間蒸發，全球超過兩百萬人受害，台灣也是重災區。FTX員工倉皇逃離巴哈馬群島時，麥可就和SBF一起在混亂的豪宅中，親眼目睹了整個過程。身為暢銷書《老千騙局》、《大賣空》、《快閃大對決》的作者，麥可是金融界紀實文學的第一把交椅。在本書中，他以一貫的精采筆法，追蹤一個特殊人物的驚人起落，深入探討一個有如時代縮影的人物及其心理——這個人從來不喜歡規則，向來無視常規，恣意而行，直到一切失控崩解。到底這一切，是怎麼發生的？SBF到底是無邪的天使，還是狡猾的惡魔？FTX到底是真的被掏空而滅亡，還是一場金融烏龍事件？ 讓全球讀者驚奇的是：麥可筆下這場震驚世界的FTX風暴，竟是從一個台灣女孩說起。 這位編號第49號員工的台灣女孩，在FTX目睹了一切經過。你看到山姆接受CNBC專訪，是台灣女孩安排的；《穿著Prada的惡魔》本尊聯絡不到山姆，也是透過這位台灣女孩。就像《魔球》，麥可．路易士講了一個不平凡的故事；就像《老千騙局》，他揭發金融圈不為外人知的一面；就像《大賣空》，他用淺白文字解說複雜的金融與科技。這一次他抽絲剝繭，帶領讀者踏上加密貨幣的淘金熱潮，說明高頻
