My exact quote was "Those guys did work really hard," so I am not sure who you were talking to.
"PS: The myth that Jordan got there on hard work is the biggest joke around." Without the hard work, Jordan wouldn't have been the best. (And yes, the same is true of his talent.)
In general, either statement -- "the best are the most talented" and "the best work the hardest" -- is an oversimplification. Their inner drive AND their talent is what put them where they are.
