Admittedly, I didn't watch a lot of Nuggets back in the day but what I saw was team ball, iirc. I think it's harsh to paint English with selfish Carmelo's brush.
If you look at their career numbers, they are nearly identical. I would say in English's prime his job was to be the scorer. There wasn't much of an expectation for him to facilitate the offense or start the offense. I'd have to look at longer clips, but I'd bet a medium black coffee that English dribbled a lot less than Carmelo and had the ball in his possession a lot less than Carmelo.
