And he is a legend of MLS.
In 2014 - his first full campaign in MLS - BWP tied the league's all-time single-season scoring record, banging in 27 goals to match Roy Lassiter (in 1996) and Chris Wondolowski (2012).
The record-matching goal came in RBNY's last game of the 2014 regular season. Wright-Phillips was two goals short of the record heading into the match. He got his first in the 15th minute. The second followed in the 70th minute (making future teammate Aurelien Collin look a little silly along the way). RBNY got the win; BWP got his share of the league's regular season, single-season scoring record.
