He was named to seven NBA All-Star teams, his #2 jersey was retired by the Nuggets, and he was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame.

English spent the majority of his career with the Nuggets, but also played briefly with the Milwaukee Bucks, Indiana Pacers and Dallas Mavericks. He was drafted in 1976 by the Bucks, amongst a host of other promising players such as Adrian Dantley and Robert Parish.

English's style has been described as smooth and elegant. While he did not possess the physical strength of his contemporaries Dominique Wilkins and James Worthy, he relied more on his technique and his finesse. These skills allowed him to place 11th on the NBA all-time scoring list as of July 2005 with 25,613 points. He was the first player ever to string together eight straight 2,000-point seasons. Besides, he has the distinction of being the basketball player having scored the most points in the 80's.

In June 2004, English was hired to become the director of player development, as well as one of the assistant coaches for the Toronto Raptors.
