"Never judge a book by its cover" -- it's what everyone told us growing up. And in the case of 6'0" munchkin Dallas Mavericks guard Yogi Ferrell, his success in a dramatic 108-104 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night was the epitome of it. One week ago, Ferrell was signed to a 10-day contract by the Mavericks after the team released guard Pierre Jackson. Ferrell knew how Jackson felt, as Ferrell was cut loose from the Nets on Dec. 8. Now seven days into the 10-day contract, Friday's game vs. Portland was one of the last chances Ferrell was going to have to showcase his talents in hopes of obtaining either a second 10-day contract or one that employed him for the remainder of the season.
