很多人都认为马刺队低报了文班亚马的身高，而且我们看到的证据越来越多，证明这是真的。

维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)现在已经是一个家喻户晓的人物了，但似乎仍然有一个问题没有答案：他到底有多高？仅仅两个赛季，我们就已经得到了相互矛盾的报告。在2023-24赛季，NBA的官方阵容页面显示他的身高为7英尺4英寸，但在2024-25赛季，他的身高突然缩水到7英尺3英寸。而这都是在他参加2023年NBA选秀前被列为7英尺3.5英寸之后发生的。

我们可以肯定地认为，他不可能在一年内先长高后缩水一英寸，但无论如何，人们普遍认为他的身高被低报了（可以问问扬尼斯·阿德托昆博，他自己可不是一个小个子）。然而，最近出现了太多的照片，显示马刺队（或者NBA，无论谁进行官方测量）再也无法欺骗任何人了。首先是球队在三月份拍摄的官方团队合影。

让我们以查尔斯·贝西(Charles Bassey)（#28）作为参考。他上赛季的身高被列为6英尺10英寸，他的头顶大致与文班的嘴巴对齐。通常认为人的头骨高度是其总身高的1/7到1/8，具体取决于形状。由于文班的头看起来比椭圆形更圆，我们将保守地取1/8，如果按照他最初的7英尺4英寸的测量值，那么他的头部（不包括头发）大约高11英寸。

与此同时，下巴底部到嘴巴的高度被认为是头骨高度的四分之一左右，因此在文班的情况下约为2.75英寸。这让我们还剩下大约8.25英寸，将其添加到贝西6英尺10英寸的身高中，那么文班的身高约为7英尺6.25英寸。即使你想慷慨一点，说贝西达到了他的鼻子底部，文班仍然大约是7英尺5英寸。

但这都是基于一张遥远的照片，你需要眯起眼睛或放大才能看清楚，而且我还在快速搜索了人体比例（可能不适用于像文班这样的超人），所以让我们看一些更近距离的证据。更近期的例子是斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)的年度最佳新秀颁奖典礼，当时所有三位前马刺队年度最佳新秀都到场了。其中包括大卫·罗宾逊(David Robinson)（7英尺1英寸）、蒂姆·邓肯(Tim Duncan)（6英尺11英寸）和文班，文班明显高于他们所有人。

当然，你可能会指出邓肯的站姿并不怎么样（尽管他在这里似乎站得很直），或者海军上将可能随着年龄的增长而矮了一两英寸，但文班仍然明显比所谓的3-4英寸更高。事实上，再次以鼻子底部作为参考，这让他又回到了7英尺6英寸的范围内，而且这还是在保守估计并且假设罗宾逊“缩水”到6英尺11英寸的情况下。还有卡斯尔需要考虑，他的身高被列为6英尺6英寸。忽略头发，他的头顶大致位于文班的脖子中间。如果我们将文班估计的11英寸的头骨高度加上几英寸的脖子，我甚至都不想做数学计算了……好吧，好吧，我们正在进入7英尺7英寸的范围。

最后，证明马刺队可能低报了文班身高的最新证据是带有一些比例尺的。

这是文班昨天与他的法国同胞兼2025年选秀前景马克西姆·雷诺(Maxime Raynaud)的合影，由KENS 5的杰夫·加西亚提供。雷诺在上周的选秀联合试训中被正式列为7英尺0.25英寸。同样，如果你以头骨比例作为参考，鼻子的顶部被认为是头部的中间，所以你必须再次给文班比雷诺高出5.5英寸，这使他的身高再次接近7英尺7英寸，你甚至不必相信我的话！我准备开始根据砖块的高度进行更多的数学计算，但另一个人使用了一个实际的模拟器，根据这些照片，如果雷诺是7英尺0.25英寸，那么文班就是7英尺7英寸。

根据选秀联合试训，雷诺的身高确实是7英尺0.25英寸。文班不可能只有7英尺4英寸。他至少有7英尺7英寸。 pic.twitter.com/xIthUL3m6Q

目前，文班的身高已经成为一种好奇和有趣的笑话。人们已经在嘲笑马刺队实际上将他本赛季的身高列为比上赛季矮了一英寸，但现在有太多的证据表明无法再继续掩盖下去了。文班高于他最高的队友、他的前辈，以及现在一位在上周已经正式测量过的球员，这说明了一切。有了所有这些证据，7英尺5英寸似乎对文班来说偏低了，但这可能是他们能列出的最短身高，而不会被嘲笑下台。

Victor Wembanyama is growing, and the Spurs can’t hide it any longer

Many have believed that the Spurs are understating Wemby’s height, and we’re seeing more and more proof that this is true.

Victor Wembanyama is a well known commodity at this point, but one seemingly-unanswered question remains: how tall is he really? In just two seasons, we’ve already gotten conflicting reports. For the 2023-24 season, the NBA’s official roster page had him listed at 7’4”, but then he suddenly shrunk to 7’3” for the 2024-25 season. And that was all after he had been listed as 7’3.5” ahead of the 2023 NBA Draft.

It’s probably safe to assume he didn’t grow then shrink an inch in the span of a year, but regardless, it was been generally accepted that his height is being underreported (just ask Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is not a small person himself). However, too many images have surfaced lately that show the Spurs (or NBA, whoever takes official measurements) aren’t fooling anyone anymore. First, there was the team’s official team photo taken back in March.

Let’s use Charles Bassey (#28) as a reference. He was listed as 6’10” last season, and the top of his head roughly aligns with Wemby’s mouth. A human skull is generally considered to be 1/7 to 1/8 the height of a person’s total body height depending on shape. Since Wemby’s head seems to be more round than oval, we’ll be conservative and go with 1/8, making his head (minus the hair) approximately 11 inches tall if we go with his initial measurement of 7’4”.

At the same time, the bottom of the chin to the mouth is considered about a quarter the height of the skull, so about 2.75” in Wemby’s case. That leaves us approximately 8.25” left, and add that to Bassey’s height of 6’10”, and that places Wemby at approximately 7’6.25”. Even if you want to be generous and say Bassey is reaching the bottom of his nose, Wemby would still be about 7’5”.

But that is all based on a far away photo you have squint or zoom way into to see and me doing some quick googling of human body proportions (which may or may not apply to superhumans like Wemby), so lets look at some more up-close proof. Even more recently was Stephon Castle’s Rookie of the Year ceremony, where all three prior Spurs ROY’s were present. That included David Robinson (7’1”), Tim Duncan (6”11”) and Wemby, who was towering over them all.

Of course, you could point out that Duncan is not exactly known for his posture (although he seems to be standing up pretty straight here), or that The Admiral may have lost an inch or two with age, but Wemby is still clearly more than the proposed 3-4 inches taller. In fact, going with the bottom of the nose again, that puts him right back in 7’6” territory, and that’s while going conservative and assuming Robinson has “shrunk” to 6’11”. There’s also Castle to consider, who is listed as 6’6”. Ignoring the hair, the top of his head is at roughly the middle of Wemby’s neck. I don’t even want to do the math if we run with Wemby’s estimated skull height of 11” PLUS a couple of inches of neck … okay fine, we’re getting into 7’7” territory.

Finally, the latest proof that the Spurs are likely underreporting Wemby’s height comes with a bit of a scale to go by.

This is Wemby with fellow Frenchman and 2025 draft prospect Maxime Raynaud just yesterday, courtesy of KENS 5’s Jeff Garcia. Raynaud was officially listed as 7’.25” at the draft combine last week. Again, if you go by skull proportions, the top of the nose is considered the middle of the head, so once again you have to give Wemby another 5.5 inches on Raynaud, taking him back up towards 7’7”, and you don’t even have to take my word for it! I was ready to start doing more math based on the height of the bricks, but another guy used an actual simulator that, based on these pictures, says if Raynaud is 7’0.25”, then Wemby is 7’7”.

Based on the draft combine, Raynaud is legit 7’0.25". There is no way Wemby is just 7’4". He’s at least 7’7". pic.twitter.com/xIthUL3m6Q

At this point, Wemby’s height has become both a curiosity and hilarious joke. Folks were already laughing that the Spurs actually had him listed as an inch shorter this season than last, but now there’s too much evidence to keep up the charade. Wemby towering over his tallest teammate, his predecessors and now a player who has been officially measured in the last week speaks for itself. With all this evidence, 7’5” seems on the low end for Wemby, but it’s probably the shortest they could list him without being laughed off the stage.

太高目前看对文班在场上并没有带来多少益处。
