English thoughts

I've been thinking... Alex English was good all right.
But was he that good? Does he deserve to be the main Nuggets throwback out there?
In europe Alex English throwback was and is very easy to find in sales, there must be a reason...
Why the heck they decided to choose him? I would have gone with Adams! or Kiki!
Sorry to offend Alex or his supporters but i strongly believe that a throwback uniform must represent the bests and I do not consider him a top of the"Pyramid" guy.

Hopefully the Nuggets will get more players to be remembered in the future. Anthony did gain this honor as much as Mutombo, who else is on the way?
Lawson....na
Iguodala...maybe
Gallinari...I hope so!

The 2011 jersey also had matching trousers that provided a shimmer under light and looked brilliant on the players.With such high standards set, the 2012 All-Stars jersey however failed to live up to its expectations.Though the jersey looked impressive at first the trousers turned out to be mismatched thus spoiling the entire look of the jerseys. It certainly would have been good to have designed matching trousers or contrast-colored trousers.Yet NBA All-Stars jerseys still remain to be favorite gifting options.The 2011 jersey is one of the best gifting options.It is one of those gifts that every basketball fan would dream to have.The All-Star jerseys will always remain to be favorites as long as NBA lives and as long as basketball lives.
