Alex English’s Iconic Denver Nuggets Jersey: A Piece of Basketball History
A Legendary Career
Alex English, a name synonymous with excellence in the NBA, left an indelible mark on the sport with his remarkable career. Averaging an impressive 21.5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, English was a force to be reckoned with on the court. His prowess earned him a place in seven NBA All-Star teams, and his contributions to the Denver Nuggets were immortalized when his #2 jersey was retired by the franchise. In recognition of his outstanding achievements, English was also elected to the prestigious Basketball Hall of Fame.
