He has not.
He has played for the Portland Trailblazers and Houston Rockets. :cool:

Alex English played for the Denver Nuggets for the 1980-90 seasons. In fact, he is pretty much an icon there... :?

I agree with pretty much everything else Najira said except

New Jersey: Kidd
New York: Willis Reed over Ewing. Won a championship on a broke leg and we both went to Grambling State
Philly: The Stilt. The reason Doubleteaming became legal and 3 in the key was made.
Milwaukee: Lew Alcindor (KA-J)
Orlando: Penny
Washington: Wes Unseld

San Antonio: Ice Man, because he's more likeable than either Timmy or The Admiral
TrailBlazers: The Glide
Sonics: The Reign Man
Warriors: Rick Barry
Lakers: Mr. Clutch. Won a championship with Wilt, won Finals MVP in 69 when we lost, and as GM put together the championship dynasty Lakers of the new millenium
Sacramento: Big O. Played for the Royals of Cincinatti when he avg the triple double was here for most of his career.
No Phil, No Shaq, No Mailman, No Rudy, No Chemistry or Cohesivness....
AND?!!?
