Being the best player on an NBA championship team is an extremely high bar. Almost nobody clears it.
That’s no knock on an NBA player. Only the five or ten best players in the NBA have a chance of leading a title run. Some of the most talented basketball players in the world still won’t reach those heights.
By now, it feels like Bradley Beal of the Washington Wizards never will. he’s been the best player on the Wizards for quite some time.
Recently, even making the playoffs has been a struggle for them.
At the same time, Julius Randle of the New York Knicks is unlikely to ever reach that bar either. At the same time, he’s led a successful Knicks season.
How much success could he have if he teamed up with Beal?
