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.
