He was the all time leading NBA scorer in the 1980's - more points than Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Dominique Wilkins and Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

The Lakers of course with Kareem & Magic were on uh bigger stratosphere. The NBA west conf. even now is still competitive. Do this: From 1980 to 2019, the NBA west conf. hav the most chips. Laker hav 11. Spurs hav 5. Warriors have 3. Rockets hav2. Dallas hav 1. East conf. hav the Bulls with 6. Celtics hav 4. Heat hav 3. Pistons 3. Cavaliers 1.

A very underrated player, mostly because he didn't have a flashy game and didn't play for a contender. But he was a monster for much of the '80s.

@naturalfinish 3 года назад

I found English to be a similar player to Jamaal Wilkes, lanky 6'7" forwards. The 1980s was a golden era for the small forward, Bird. Erving, Worthy, Wilkins, Dantley, English

@urbangorilla33 10 месяцев назад

And Bernard King, Mark Aguirre, Marques Johnson, Kiki Vendeweghe, Purvis Short, Kelly Tripucka, Mike Mitchell, all were prolific scorers. In 1983-84, 8 of the top 10 scorers were SF; In 84-85 it was 7/10.

@bracelanddegenhart1084 6 лет назад

I’ve gone to his basketball camp a few times at South Carolina, his work ethic to improve was amazing when he made his shot better for the higher levels. Such a great player and a great person giving so much back to the community

@HoustonIsImmortal 6 лет назад

Alex English was a silent killer who was on one of the most prolific offenses ever. Still didn't average more on a per-game basis than MJ tho. But make no mistake, the man was instant offense.

@churchservice2700 6 лет назад

Jordan was greater scorer than English...but this is proven through their amount of TOTAL points they dropped during their prime years and not PPG...PPG is very inaccurate in terms of depicting who are the greatest scorers

Alex English had an offensive play style that would be so out of date nowadays. He lived on the mid range shot and did not get to the line often. Yet he was a pretty accurate shooter. He also was a decent passer and he tried on defense.

@sauliussimcikas7538 6 лет назад

You have to look at points per possession to say that they were best offense or worst defense, not in how many points are scored/allowed per game. High scoring games only show that they played at a fast pace which somewhat diminishes his statistical achievements. Anyway, thanks for the vid :)

@churchservice2700 6 лет назад

at the end...what really determines your dominance in scoring depends on the amount of total points that you dropped during the regular season...not points per game...the real scoring titles are the ones that lead the league in the total points during the regular season and not average
