    What I love about Murray is he was like your Dad or Uncle doing commentary in the house. He was so relatable because he was so spontaneous and didn't sound as though he was coached into commentary like others they all have this specific professional way of doing it, but Murray was more himself and genuine. Like me or you. He just felt free to say whatever he wanted however he said it. It was so different from others. He truly is one of a kind.
