- Alexander "Alex" English delivers his speech upon being enshrined to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as part of the class of 1997. To learn more about Alex English take a look at his official Hall of Fame bio at www.hoophall.co...
Alex had that unique shooting style where he would raise his arms completely straight up over his head...I saw him play many times and would say he was "Poetry in motion." On top of that, he was perhaps one of the classiest players to ever play the game!!!
The quietest scorer ever. 25,000 points yet very few people give him recognition
+marvelandgroup It's a shame nobody knows who he was. In my opinion the most underrated player
exeterra a few people do. Not many. I remember when I collected basketball cards...his stats amazed me , even as a young kid I noticed he was an amazing scorer.
marvelandgroup totally undefeated!!! This guy. Could score with and against anybody
@@exeterra4825 We know who he is. I am Greek and I know Alex English. A Legend.
He was my favorite player, mind you I’m from NYC and he played mostly in Denver hardly watched him but we knew who he was and is.
Not just a great player but a great human being
You dont such humble persons in today's NBA any more! Alex English is a Legend!

THIS GUY WAS A GREAT, GREAT PLAYER !
Dr. J has escorted more people into the hall than anybody.
A scoring machine
Nobody today plays like he did. The mid-range jump shot is a lost art. He could shoot over anybody, and he did. Smooth on the court, and smooth in life. Even his dunks were smooth.
How about Dirk.
demar derozan is the closest thing today
Fantastic. Life long Lakers fan but, outside of the team, Alex was my favorite player in the league. Haven't seen a player like him since.
I will say no one really like him. While Alex is taller than Dantley, like Adrian, he was kind of at a size disadvantage. At 6'7, he was probably the skinniest 6'7 in the league. Yet it didn't stop him from scoring around the paint like very few could.
@@Amick44 Good point. What's amazing about Dantley was that he played so much bigger with that hard-to-stop low post game. Worthy and AC Green at about 6' 9" and 6' 10" couldn't handle him on defense. He'd make the basket or get fouled. Really felt sorry for AD (even though he was a Laker foe) when he got traded to Dallas as that ended his shot at a championship.
What a great NUGGET !
Total class…. Great player better person
Resprestin s.c. thank you Alex
no one scored more points in the 80s than Mr English
I remember in at S Car, great talent, great person.
I saw Alex English play and I know he will be a future Hall of famer
The most underrated scorer in the history of NBA…. Too bad I never saw much of him him being in Denver
*¡¡¡ UNDERRATED PLAYER !!!*
The Poet came out . HE created a new word and in a new space cultimate - the fulfillment of a cultural aspiration. Hof.
Great player whose shot was unblockable.
If only he quoted Dr. MLK instead of Mother T, he would've been as famous as Magic. It all comes down to salability. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
