「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．恩迪亞耶和傑瑞米．梅賈納， 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
