    The author uses an informal fallacy by quoting an African proverb and then interpreting it in a way that is not directly stated in the quote. The proverb 'The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth' is used to describe how Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum deal with scrutiny, but the author adds his own interpretation of 'it rolls off you'. This interpretation is not explicitly stated in the quote and therefore constitutes an informal fallacy. The score would be lower if there were more instances of fallacies or if this was the only example, but overall the article contains valuable information and analysis.
    • The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth
    • But for me, at least, I can say. I don’t know if Jayson feels the same way.
