Could we fathom A.I.'s greatness if combined with Kobe's or MJ's work ethic?

The guy averages 27 ppg, 5th all time, and he doesn't even work hard, on or off the court. Imagine if he matched the intensity of KG, Kobe, or MJ, and worked equally hard. I mean, I practice basketball 40 hours a week. I would be surprised if it takes 2 months for A.I. to reach the 40 hour month. Thoughts?
