End of the comparison? The fact by which Carlos Vela dethroned Ibrahimovic from MLS was revealed

Kaká, Thierry Henry, Carlos Valderrama, Wayne Rooney, David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. There has been a lot of stars at the Major League Soccer, and there a list of 134 to choose the best 25, due to the 25 years of the league. Why should Vela be on the top 3?

None of these stars played in the MLS at their best moment. The used the league as a last experience before retiring. Does that mean that they underestimate the competition in the USA? Of course not, but they should not be considered as the best MLS players if their best moments were not at the MLS.

If Lionel Messi comes and play one season for Inter Miami, would he be the best player of MLS History? Maybe, if he scores 100 goals in that season. A lot of players made a huge effort to get to play as a first MLS team, and then they stayed here until they retire.

This list needs to be considered as main league, not as a secondary league that export players or import old players. The main names here should be Carlos Vela, Clint Dempsey and Landon Donovan, not Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Kaka or Wayne Rooney.
