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.

The Jersey: A Testament to Greatness

This extraordinary jersey, presented to us as game-worn, is a testament to Alex English’s legendary career. The front of the jersey proudly displays the “NUGGETS” name, while the player number “2” is emblazoned on both the front and back in vibrant yellow on blue tackle twill. The player name “ENGLISH” is elegantly stitched in blue tackle twill on a white nameplate across the back. Adding to its authenticity, the official embroidered “NBA” logo patch graces the left breast.
