Alex English’s Iconic Denver Nuggets Jersey: A Testament to Scoring Prowess

A Legendary Scorer of the 1980s

Alex English, a revered Hall of Famer, was the NBA’s most prolific scorer during the 1980s, amassing an impressive 25,613 points to retire as the seventh-leading scorer in league history. Initially underutilized by the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers, English found his stride with the Denver Nuggets, becoming the most explosive member of a high-powered team that consistently ranked among the league’s top-scoring clubs. His remarkable achievement of eight consecutive 2,000-point seasons is a testament to his scoring prowess and consistency.

The Jersey: A Piece of Basketball History

This extraordinary jersey, presented to us as game-used, is a tangible piece of basketball history. The left front tail of the knit jersey features the “Medalist Sand-Knit” manufacturer’s tag with the size “46” and an exclusive tag that reads “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the Denver Nuggets.” An additional embroidered tag with “88” signifies its vintage. The front proudly displays “NUGGETS,” while the player number “2” is emblazoned below and on the back, all in white with blue stitch on yellow tackle twill. The player name “ENGLISH” graces the back in yellow tackle twill, complemented by the official “NBA” logo patch on the left breast.

Shorts: Completing the Ensemble

The accompanying shorts, equally significant, feature the “Medalist Sand-Knit” manufacturer’s tag with the size “34” in the back waistband. An exclusive tag reads “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the Denver Nuggets,” with an embroidered tag marked “87.” The number “2” is inscribed on the tag in black marker. The front left leg of the shorts showcases “DENVER” in white with blue stitch on yellow tackle twill, completing this iconic ensemble.
