RJ Barrett isn’t quite at that level. Not yet. The 22-year-old has only been in the league for four seasons. But he could be New York’s next A-Rod.
There is no law, metaphorical or otherwise, requiring that this title exists. In that way, it’s kind of like the captain of a baseball team. Sometimes teams have one, sometimes they don’t: The Yankees have gone years at a time without, most recently the gap between Derek Jeter and Aaron Judge; the Mets somehow manage to survive without one at the present time.
We’ve had others. For a time, Eli Manning was like that, but a couple of Super Bowls forced him to hand his A-Rod back to the committee. Roger Clemens was certainly like that. Recently, the athlete that clutched his A-Rod with both hands for almost his entire stay in New York was Carmelo Anthony.Charles Wenzelberg
Anthony was a curious case for a sports columnist. If you ripped him, your email inbox would fill with Melo supporters, so many you really might second-guess your own words. Except that, if you praised him, you’d hear from twice as many respondents, the anti-Melo brigade who would clear their throats if ever you chose to give No. 7 too much credit.RJ Barrett isn’t quite at that level. Not yet. He has only been in the league for four seasons. He’s still only 22 years old.
