在2025年3月12日星期三，圣安东尼奥马刺队对阵达拉斯独行侠队的NBA比赛中，时任马刺代理主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson)（左）与中锋维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 在下半场观看回放。
无论外界如何热议维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 的身高，但请知悉：他本人觉得这个话题无聊透了。
“我不会说我喜欢这种讨论，”文班亚马说。“更确切地说，这些年来这对我而言早已不是一个值得讨论的话题了，因为在我看来，我身上有太多比身高更有趣的东西。”
本赛季，马刺队官方公布的文班亚马身高为7英尺4英寸，而在他生涯的前两年，这一数据为7英尺3.5英寸。在训练营期间，俱乐部官网曾一度将他的身高列为7英尺5英寸，但此后又改回了7英尺4英寸。
许多联盟观察家坚称，他的身高至少有7英尺5英寸。
在文班亚马看来，这些讨论简直是老生常谈，无聊至极。
“说实话，有时我甚至会惊讶于这竟然还是一个话题，因为在我看来，（具体身高）其实无关紧要，”他说。“我说的是实话——我比其他所有人都高。你们只需要知道这一点就够了。”
所以，当其他人还在为他的身高争论不休时，文班亚马更愿意屏蔽外界的噪音。自从作为继2003年勒布朗·詹姆斯 (LeBron James) 开启其NBA生涯以来最受瞩目的新秀进入联盟后，他就经常这么做。
他是如何做到的？通过远离社交媒体——这是其他球员很难做到的事。
“是的，我能理解，”他谈到远离X、Instagram等社交媒体应用的困难时说道。“因为当你打出一场好球，那就像是唾手可得的多巴胺，你懂我的意思吗？我知道人们会花成千上万个小时刷手机。如果你在浏览时看到自己的名字，而且你刚打了一场好球，这会带来积极的反馈。但多年来，我也一直在训练我的大脑，不要去获取这种多巴胺，不要让大脑从这些微不足道的事情中获得快感。”
这其中就包括去听那些关于他到底有多高的喋喋不休的议论。
“我真的从不考虑我的身高，”他说。“这就像有人问你‘长这么高是什么感觉？’我不知道。我一直都是这样。”

What does Victor Wembanyama think about all the talk about his height?
Then-San Antonio Spurs acting head coach Mitch Johnson, left, and Spurs center Victor Wembanyama watch a replay during the second half of an NBA basketball game against the Dallas Mavericks in San Antonio, Wednesday, March 12, 2025.
Talk all you want about Victor Wembanyama’s height, but know this: He finds the topic boring.
“I don’t say I like it,” Wembanyama said. “It is more like over the years it has become a non-subject to me because in my opinion there are so many more interesting things about me.”
The Spurs list Wembanyama at 7 foot 4 this season after saying he was 7-3 1/2 in his first two years. For a while during camp, the club’s website listed him at 7-5, but that has since changed back to 7-4.
Many league observers argue he’s at least 7-5.
For Wembanyama, it’s all just one big snooze fest.
“The truth is sometimes I’m surprised it’s still a conversation because in my mind it doesn’t really make a difference,” he said. “I’m telling the truth – I’m taller than everybody else. That’s all you need to know.”
So while others argue about his height, Wembanyama prefers to just shut out the noise, something he has done often since entering the league as the most hyped rookie since LeBron James started his NBA career in 2003.
How does he do it? By taking breaks from social media, something other players struggle to pull off.
“Yeah, and I understand it,” he said of the difficulty of staying off X, Instagram and other social medial apps. “Because when you have a good game, it’s like free dopamine, you know what I mean? I know people scroll thousands of hours. If you’re scrolling, and you (see) your name and you had a good game, it’s positive feedback. But also for years, I’ve trained my brain to not get dopamine, to not get your brain happy with insignificant things.”
That includes listening to all the chatter about how tall he is.
“I literally never think about my height,” he said. “It’s like when people ask you how is it to be so tall? I don’t know. It’s been this (way) forever.”
