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