Vincent Raymond Yarbrough (born March 21, 1981 in Lake Forest , Illinois ) is a retired American basketball player .
He is 2.01 meters tall, weighs 96 kilograms and plays in the position of small forward. In the 2006/2007 season he played for Brose Baskets in Bamberg. Before that he played for the Denver Nuggets , Telindus Oostende (Belgium), Sicilia Messina and Viola Reggio Calabria. He is considered a good defender and has international experience. With Telindus Ostend he played in the ULEB Cup and averaged 14.5 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. Vincent Yarbrough is moving to EnbW Ludwigsburg at the beginning of February 2008. For EnbW Ludwigsburg, he scored an average of 6.9 points with 4.5 rebound per game. He has been playing for Telekom Baskets Bonn since July 2008 and has signed a contract for the 2008/2009 season. After a successful season with the Baskets in the BBL final (3-2 loss to EWE Baskets Oldenburg), Yarbrough extended his contract by one year for the 2009/2010 season.
In Bonn, Yarbrough developed into a service provider. His international experience and good defense work are essential factors in the game of the baskets. However, it also developed into an uncertainty factor, as he had already suffered serious injuries to the peroneal tendons in his right foot several times. The injury sustained in August 2010 forced the American to take a long break. Early on, there was speculation about an end to his career and Yarbrough finally announced the end of his active career in the summer of 2011.
Vincent Yarbrough is married with one son.
