If Bradley Wright-Phillips was doing what he does in any professional sport other than soccer, he would be the face of his sport.
He would be the Stephen Curry or LeBron James of the NBA, the Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers of the NFL, the Kris Bryant or Mike Trout of baseball, the Patrick Kane or Sidney Crosby of the NHL.
Playing for the Red Bulls in Major League Soccer, though, despite winning the “Golden Boot’’ as the league’s leading goal scorer two of the past three years, Wright-Phillips works his craft in relative anonymity.
That’s OK with him, because it fits his humble nature.
