select player from tablename a,   (select team, max(points) as best from tablename group by team) b where a.points =
b.bestand a.team = b.team;
 

This will list all of the players who have scored the maximum number of
points for a team.

(Note I didn't actually test this, so there may be minor errors in the
example.)
