That insane three-point shooting performance Yogi Ferrell had on national TV really inflated his reputation among NBA fans. That was the first many people had seen of him, and probably also the last. First impressions mean a lot, because I still see people talking about him as if he’s some sort of incredibly underrated young…

Yogi Ferrell 21 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2017)
Believe me or don’t, but this is Yogi Ferrell’s second-best scoring game after that 9-triple outburst he had on national TV. That game really messed with people’s perceptions of him, maybe irreversibly. And who can blame them? Unless you’re a Mavs fan or a ravenous highlights-consumer or a fantasy-fanatic, literally the only thing you’ve seen…

The Mavericks are clearly emboldened by their success in finding Yogi Ferrell. They’re cycling through D-Leaguers so fast that I’m starting to lose track of which 10-dayers are actually on their team and which are long gone. I guess that’s the right strategy, because for every Yogi you have 10 Ben Bentils. Gotta maintain as…

Apparently other stuff happened in tonight’s Mavericks game besides Dirk Nowitzki hitting 30,000 for his career. I know! It didn’t seem right to me either, but I looked at the play-by-play just now and there were a bunch of non-Dirk entries there. The boxscore said Yogi Ferrell scored 16 points and had 7 assists, but…

Yogi Ferrell is quickly earning a reputation among highlight-makers (actually just me) of a guy whose assists just aren’t that good. He still gets them, and they’re still good basketball plays or whatever, but he’s more of a Brandon Knight who just gets assists because he has the ball in his hands a lot instead…

Not enough people are criticizing the Brooklyn Nets for letting Yogi Ferrell get away. For letting a young player who could certainly help their talent-deprived squad get away. In fact, I don’t think I’ve seen even one sentence of Yogi-related criticism directed towards them. That changes now. Right now: The Brooklyn Nets messed up by…

We have already seen the peak of Yogi Ferrell’s NBA career: 32 points, 9 threes, 1 kajillion hearts won. There is nowhere to go but down for him. Those who climb the highest mountains must either come down or die at the top… wow, that was pretty profound. Damn. Did I come up with that?…

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.

There are two ways to approach playing time during a 10-day contract in the NBA. You can play within yourself as much as possible, limiting mistakes and showing you can sacrifice individual success for the team. Or, you can call your own number whenever you get the ball, shooting ballsy shots and making the coaches…

The Bucks traded a GOD DAMN first round pick for Greivis Vasquez. DAMMIT. Now the Nets have waived Trashquez so they can pick up… Yogi Ferrell???? That means, following the application of the transitive property, that the Bucks traded a FRIGGIN first round pick for Yogi EVERLOVING Ferrell. I sometimes wonder why I was cursed…
