Alexander English (born January 5, 1954) is an American retired basketball player.
He was most recently an assistant coach with the Sacramento Kings of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
He played college basketball at the University of South Carolina. Upon his arrival in Denver in 1980, English commenced an assault on the NBA scoring books.
With the erratic, fast-paced, and high-scoring Nuggets, he averaged 21 points through the final 24 games of the 1979-80 season, then proceeded with averages of 24, 25, 28, 26, 28, nearly 30 (in the 1985–86 season), 29, 25, 27, and 18 points per game during his decade-long scoring spree.
He also led the Nuggets to nine consecutive playoff appearances, two Midwest Division titles, and the 1985 Western Conference Finals.
English set 31 team records throughout his decade in Denver, and was the leading scorer in 55% of the games he played for the Nuggets. In total, English played 15 seasons in the NBA for four teams, averaging 21.5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game during his NBA career.
He was named to eight NBA All-Star teams and made the All-NBA Second Team three times.
His number 2 jersey was retired by the Denver Nuggets in 1992 and he was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1997.
