With regard to athletic ability, I say the following: How many women in the country can dunk a basketball? A handful
Pick a big high school randomly. 1000 students. How many boys are there in this school that can dunk that don't even play basketball?

Irrelevant...athleticism does not equate to "basketball". Lots of slam dunk phenoms can't play. And men are clearly better at athleticism. I don't think anyone has ever debated that point.
However, if you're talking about "pure basketball"...passing, screening, teamwork, etc., there is no reason why women couldn't be just as good or better.
That, of course, doesn't make it more fun to watch, but it could be "better".
