Holy LA Galaxy and great plains, Batman!
By Scott Conrad
5. Paulo Nagamura
The Brazilian midfielder started his MLS career in 2005 with the Los Angeles Galaxy. In his two seasons with the team, he accumulated six assists but never scored a goal for them. He recorded at least 2,000 minutes in both of those years, too.
Nagamura was a part of the same championship roster as Lalas in 2005. Drafted in 2006, Nagamura was selected by the expansion Toronto FC squad.
He almost immediately found a new (but familiar) home with Chivas. Having only played in four games for the Toronto franchise, Nagamura was a member of the Chivas team for more than five and a half seasons there. He scored nine goals to go with his seven assists.
Nagamura played five seasons for Sporting Kansas City. He won his second MLS championship his second year with the team in 2013 when they subdued Real Salt Lake, 1-1, 7-6 on penalty kicks. This player was responsible for at least one assist in each of the five years with Kansas City.
Nagamura appeared in the playoffs eight different seasons including his first two with the Los Angeles Galaxy and all but one season (his first) with Kansas City. Following the 2016 MLS season, he retired to focus on coaching instead.
