    The author makes several comparisons between the WNBA All-Stars and the U.S. Olympic team without providing any evidence to support these claims, which can be considered an appeal to authority fallacy. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing Ogunbowale as a 'thorn in the side' of the U.S. team and stating that 'no team in the world could match the depth or talent that the WNBA All-Stars had.' These statements are not backed up by any facts and can be considered an appeal to emotion fallacy.
