You cant split the two things, you can be the mental Monster of mankind and try harder than anyone but when you accomplished nothing extraordinary no-one give a shit. And also you can't become the goat without the mindset, talent may be a part but how many talents we see popup that ended just "somehow good" because they slack off and thought talent will do the work? Saw many gifted youngsters and after the initial hype they became cocky and lazy. "Yeah well I don't have to do extra training, I'm that badass I can do it even without training." May work a while and then mid 20s they are not a young talent anymore just "somehow good" and even when they realise that mistake at that point they can't catch up anymore. Thats why everything is connected to became a legend. ;)

Read Phil Jackson's book 11 Rings. He wasn't a team player at first. Neither was the other guys. They learned to play together and exploded. They went from a stage 3 team (personal domination) to a stage 4(stable partnership), and then stage 5. Innocent wonderment. Read Tribal Leadership. Jordan was the best individual. Kobe was too during his time. But what made them the best teams in their eras was their teamwork. Period

Ugh the flu game. That game, Malone and Stockton played like they had the flu, not Jordan. They underperformed dramatically, when Jordan was at his weakest too. And lost by the skin of their teeth. Get this, had Malone made just one more shot or one more block, and Stockton just one more steal, they'd still be below their series averages, but the Jazz would have won that game, despite Jordan playing his lights out. That game should have been remembered for Malone and Stockton choking, not Jordan playing through the flu.

It's rare enough to have the physical ability to perform at that level. The Mental Ability to take the physical ability above and beyond, and the rest of the team with him, is another thing entirely. To have BOTH is maybe 100-200 humans. We're talking Jerry Rice's Mind with Randy Moss' body. In recent memory I'd say Ayrton Senna, although not the traditional athlete we think of, had a similar combination of extraordinary physical tools and the Mind to take it above and beyond.

But mentality to win they all shared that. What both Kobe and Keane didnt have was Jordans talent. But alot of footballers who played with Keane have him as the best leader of all time. He did it the way Jordan did but not as much of a bully. Just high standards.

That's why he pushed his teammates to be better and if he to be an asshole to do it, then so be it. If you didn't put in the effort, Jordan was going to call you out or mock you.
