It's not a failure of logic, per se. If someone had called him ugly and he responded with "no you are" that would be a form of "tu quoque". If Noah was trying to use KG's ugliness as support for the premise that KG is bad at basketball, that would be an ad hominem fallacy. An ad hominem attack is not necessarily fallacious, only if the alleged bad trait doesn't really relate to the matter under discussion.
