Tag: Grant Napear

Ray: You are now going to be the Kings’ interim TV play-by-play announcer. Obviously, you have a very different style than Grant Napear. I would call his a ‘hot’ style and yours a ‘low-key’ style. Do you think that will affect how you are going to be received or how you are going to approach things, or is it irrelevant? Gary Gerould: I would not call it a concern, but it is certainly something I am very much aware of. Grant and I obviously have two distinctively different styles. I spoke to him recently after this acknowledgement from the Kings came that I was going to be plugged into an interim role as a television broadcaster for the games that the Kings are hoping to play later this month in Orlando. I said, “You know as well as I do how our styles are different and I am certainly not in any position where I am trying to fill your shoes. I am trying to do what I do and I will try to do it at the best of my ability.” How people will react to that is a giant unknown.
