The author makes several statements that do not contain any logical fallacies. However, there are a few instances where the author uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing Beverley's actions towards a female reporter. This is an informal fallacy known as Ad Hominem. The author also quotes Beverley making a statement about the female reporter not subscribing to his podcast and asking her to leave, which is also an instance of Ad Hominem. However, since the article primarily focuses on the NBA playoffs and does not heavily rely on these instances of Ad Hominem fallacies, I am scoring it as 95.
