As Damore explains at length in his memo, statistical disparities in representation don't prove discrimination.

Is this disparity evidence that the NBA is discriminating against non-black players?

I didn't claim that certain races are naturally predisposed to playing basketball, I just quoted an uncontroversial statistic and asked whether it could only be explained by discrimination.
