The author makes several comparisons between Jalen Brunson's performance and that of Michael Jordan, but does not provide any evidence to support the claim that Brunson is playing at a level comparable to Jordan. This is an example of an appeal to authority fallacy as the author relies on the reputation of Michael Jordan rather than providing concrete evidence. Additionally, there are instances of inflammatory rhetoric such as 'These days, a Brunson scoring outburst is about as rare as a Tom Thibodeau broken blood vessel.' and 'The best of friends show kindness only behind each other's backs.' which are not necessary to the analysis of Brunson's performance.
