This is a sincere question, no troll: Would the definition of systemic racism that focuses on outcomes mean the NBA is an example of systemic racism?

Interesting question.. the complexity would be far greater, and the assumptions would need to factor in where the incentive and information channels are designed into the system, understanding how they effect human behavior over time.

I heard someone use “redlining” as an example. What are your thoughts?

But a "common definition" that implies some reality-denial, it's not an useful definition to talk about reality. The "common definition" you mention implies that evolution stops at the neck and that genes do not influence average behavior in large populations.

@ScottAdamsSays gave to@AndreasShrugged, I would image affirmative action in the US would qualify as an example for systemic racism? It is by law, so systemic. And in an abstract way, discriminating by race could be seen as racist (the very definition of racism). -
Affirmative action is a politically correct version of systemic bias. However it gets a pass in society due to it largely being perceived as an antidote to racism, for better or worse.

No to your first point. The system of capitalism is intended to produce unequal outcomes. The system of competitive sports, too. The system of justice is intended to produce equal outcomes for equal crimes and background.

To your 2nd point: One could debate whether a standard college admission test is fair. We know that on average schools in urban black neighborhoods are worse than schools in other neighborhoods, and this is persistent. Do their students get a fair chance to compete for college?
