My Take

Jeff Cunningham's record genuinely impresses me. Born in Montego Bay, Jamaica, he came up through a Florida high school and the University of South Florida, then finished as the third all-time leading scorer in MLS regular-season history with 134 goals. Doing that as a forward at 173 cm tells you everything about his finishing instincts and persistence. I'm also struck by the human arc of representing Jamaica before switching to the United States. I'll always take a clinical, dependable goalscorer over a flashy dribbler, and that 134 is a number that quietly says it all.
