And a whole lot of other stuff as well, some are things these players can't even control.
And even personality. I think a lot of Jordan's pathological competitiveness was involuntary and ingrained in him, has a lot to do with father issues. That's a pretty reasonable and common observation, but again can't be quantified or proven. If these things could be sports would be boring, athletes would be robots, and message boards like this wouldn't exist. Though great advances have been made, it's a delusion of futurism to think we live in that world or are even close to it.

Right. I put personal dedication under sacrifice.

You're conflating the explanatory variables with the outcome variable. This would make sense if we don't have the outcome.
Guess what though? We have the outcome variable.
So while interesting to debate what contributed to the outcome, it's irrelevant to the comparison of the outcomes themselves.
