Yogi Ferrell vs. Damian Lillard: who ya got?
POINTS: Ferrell scored 32 points even while dealing with an unfavorable away crowd that hated him after about the third three-pointer. Lillard scored 13 points on 4-of-20 shooting even with the support of his home fanbase. ADVANTAGE: Ferrell
NBA CAREER: Ferrell got waived by the Nets, the worst team in the league. Lillard was rookie of the year once upon a time. ADVANTAGE: Ferrell
THREE-POINTERS: Lillard made one three-pointer in this game. Ferrell made nine. Nine is nine times as many as one (if you believe everything they tell you about multiplication), so if Lillard had made three three-pointers, Ferrell would have blasted away the NBA record by making 27 of them. You can easily see how elite Ferrell is at this part of the game. ADVANTAGE: Ferrell
ASSISTS: Damian Lillard got six assists because he was shooting so badly that he didn’t even want to shoot anymore. Yogi Ferrell got five assists even though he should have been the one shooting it on all those possessions. ADVANTAGE: Ferrell
SIZE: Lillard, at 6’3″, is an average size for a point guard. Ferrell is barely six foot on a good day, but his huge heart makes up for what he lacks in physical stature. ADVANTAGE: Ferrell
PLAYOFFS: Lillard eliminated the Rockets in his first career playoff series but then his team lost to the Spurs in five games. Ferrell has never been eliminated from the playoffs. ADVANTAGE: Ferrell
NAME: Damian is a normal name. Yogi is the name of a cartoon bear. ADVANTAGE: Ferrell
DEFENSE: Lillard doesn’t play defense. Ferrell probably does because he wants to stick around in the league, but now that he’s scored 32 points, he doesn’t have to anymore if he doesn’t want to. But he totally could. ADVANTAGE: Ferrell
STEPPING UP UNDER PRESSURE: Lillard folded on national TV. Ferrell stepped up when the spotlights were on him. ADVANTAGE: Ferrell
After all facts have been analytically analysed with scrutiny, an official conclusion can be concluded officially: Yogi Ferrell is BETTER than Damian Lillard.
