Wikipedia: "Winners epitomize great ability combined with diligence, perseverance, and hard work."
As was stated above, if HH puts up some impressive numbers in the last three games, that checks off the perseverance criterion. IMHO, you have to run the full gauntlet and survive some loss to say you persevered. The other qualifiers are already booked.
I thought that the single-handed, overall value to team success carried weight, but I see no reference to that.
Regardless, the answer to this thread question is heck yeah!
