True enough, but I don't think the contexts are similar enough for a comparison. The NBA is a physical arena, where size, strength and speed are all prized. Men are going to win those contests, that is just how it is. 

But can you say the same of business? This is an intellectual exercise, one of judgement and decision making. What your argument means here, is that women can't be as good as men at these things, or they would have been hired. You're assuming the process is fair and merit-based, and this article has shown you it is not. 

Otherwise, why doesn't Silicon valley represent population demographics? There must be some reason, no? Either it is because white men really are better than women here-- the consequence of your NBA point--or because there are other factors at work skewing the results. 

One of those could be a very narrow definition of "best hire" perhaps, rigged in favour of the white male, abetted by structural and historical access to education and class mobility.
