Former Channel 7 and Empire Sports Network guru Bob Koshinski’s had the chance to cover some of the biggest events on the sports landscape.
He says watching former Niagara start Calvin Murphy for three years, though, stands out as big as any of them.
With Murphy coming back to Monteagle Ridge tonight (and Sunday), Koshinski recalls some of his greatest memories in his most recent column at AllSportsWNY.com, and also mentions his frustration with the lack of Murphy footage that’s survived.
Here’s an excerpt.
“I was a teenager when I watched Murphy play and felt he was the most exciting athlete I had ever seen.
If “hasn’t done a thing since college” includes getting elected into the basketball Hall of Fame then I guess you’re right.
Sports guru? Hah!
How funny.
Sports guru ? hah !

Every year, Murphy comes to town for a game, and you’d think they thawed out Walt Disney and he was eating at the como! Take his picture and move on, he hasn’t done a thing since college other than come here and get treated like a king. doesn’t he have about twenty kids who could buy him a meal?
Calvin Muprhy is in the basketball Hall of Fame and voted the greatest player ever to play the game under six foot so I think he has done sonething since leaving Niagara.
