I always thought it was primarily an excuse for SI's writers to wax poetic over favorite athletes. Some of the essays each year are incredibly well written. But there's really no clear indicia of what it actually takes to win.

The essay when Kim got nominated in 2005 was one of my all time favorite pieces of sprots journalism. The woman who wrote the essay nailed everything speical about Clijsters, and how she was so different than 95% of the other women in sports.
