Intangibles
A smart, competitive floor general who used quickness and anticipation to compensate for obvious physical limitations. His free throw shooting — 95.8% in the 1980-81 season — reflected the extraordinary mental precision he brought to every aspect of his game.

At 5'9", Murphy is one of the shortest players ever inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame — his career stands as one of the great arguments for skill and competitiveness overcoming physical limitations.
Murphy competed as a national-level baton twirler throughout his basketball career — a practice that may have contributed to the extraordinary coordination and quick-release mechanics that defined his shooting.
His 95.8% free throw percentage in the 1980-81 season was an NBA record that stood for over a decade — and his streak of 78 consecutive made free throws remains one of the most remarkable shooting achievements in league history.
Murphy is the Rockets' all-time leader in games played — his 13 seasons in Houston represent a franchise loyalty that is extraordinarily rare in the modern era of player movement.
