Julius Randle has very quickly gone from being hated to being loved in New York.

After a frustrating first year on the New York Knicks, Julius Randle has elevated his level of play to an MVP caliber level. Randle’s numbers this season are not just great — but historically great.

According to StatMuse, Julius Randle is on pace to join Larry Bird as only the second player ever to average 20+ points, 10+ rebounds, and 5+ assists while shooting 40+ percent from 3.
