"Ernie isn't white. He's lightskinned" - Shaq
Sevey Lee when he say that?
😂😂😂😂😂
Luka Kai during one of the open courts
Facts
Sevey Lee naw he’s white. No one would like to be or claim to be black lmao
He deserves to be in a hall of fame. Great man.
He definitely will be, no doubt.
Aravinda Dilshan he done more in sports then just hosting
Aravinda Dilshan Disrespect Elevator Ernie Johnson again and he'll pop yo ass
sivan ferna His influence on sports tv, he's the leader of the show. Listen to what he says. He's an icon who puts hours into what he does.
That's a guarantee
"You not gon work me like a dog and not pay me"
They have me on ESPN 1, 2, 3, ESPN News, ESPN U, ESPN Radio, and then come up with that puny check
@Holy Drug Lord that was after when Shaq chimed in 😂 muy bien gracias
John Berry oh god Chuck roasting ESPN is the funniest shit on Inside The NBA this season. lol
And none of the hosts at ESPN said shit, so it is true what Chuck said. That was awesome.
El loco
This guy should go down in the history books as a legend in the sport. Like Craig Sager
RIP Big Lez 26/1/19 what are ya talking abeet
He made the hall of fame
He will man we all love Ernie
Ernie Johnson is a Craig Sager that loves and takes care of his family . If i’m not mistaken, Sager took a marrow transplant from his own son and then took him out of his will after the fact. I’m sure he wasn’t a scum bag, but it was a shitty thang to do.
And Stuart Scott
That panel could not have been possible without this man, I love him
TehransVeryOwn he's the Balance, he's the Force
TehransVeryOwn and I’m like # 666.
He's the Point Guard for that team.
The real fucking 🐐🐐🐐🐐, no Ernie no Inside the NBA
chris correa add Sir Charles and Kenny to that. if it wasn't for those two, Inside would be another boring post-game show.
Joseph Edric Tiamson replace chris webber with kenny
Apexways 47 replace Kenny with Webber*
chris correa soooooo truuuu
they can get rid of Shaq...he adds nothing to the show....replace Shaq with Webber!
ernie is possibly the most likeable guy in the world
Fax
Yeah
@@sibulelesulelo7385 Stephen wonder boy Thompson
Ernie Johnson MVP man i love this dude he is such a professional and seems so honest and open minded.

+Brandon Espinosa lol...u son of a bitch
Brandon Espinosa he is black
Dennis Oh Stop just stop
+Brandon Espinosa Haha yea but its not about black or white :D its about shaq and Chuck man Kenny is professional like Ernie but maan those 2 barbeque chickens
"Ernie, lemme tell you somethin'.."
Brandon Soto "to be honest with you"
Brandon Soto I read it in his voice lmao
Brandon Soto "first of all..."
That's "turrible".
erneh lissen here
The reason why ej and inside the NBA are the goats is because they are just theirselves on the show, they aren't mad cringy like NFL live and on sportscenter where they try to hard to be cool and funny
Doodoo Brown eggsatcly
Doodoo Brown Yup 100 percent
Doodoo Brown yes their chemistry is too dam good
Doodoo Brown Exactly right; ESPN shows are just tense and awkward to watch
I do like Prime on NFL Network. Other then that, yes. If the crew did all sports. I'd watch them.
Shoutout Ernie's wife for fighting the good fight. We gotta stop the horrors happening to these kids, man. Respect.
Respect ✊
EJ's Neato stat of the night. presented by...
Grand Priest no one
oh come on Ernie...
unsullied by sponsership
Nobody
Unsullied by sponsorship.
"I'm not dumb enough to swing on chuck." ernie is a black man!!! Ernie is invited to the cookout and gets a seat at the spades table! lol
EJ is such a legendary host, he can balance humor and professionalism so well.
6 kids? Ernie Damnn
Brandon Washington he adopted some
Dont sleep on ernie hes a sex machine!!

Brandon W Yup. My boy Ernie getting it in even at 80!

"Ernie? sing this verse with me it's goin get 2 million CZcams hits!"

This dude has accomplished so much. I remember playing NBA live 2004 playing the dunk contest and to this day I believe him and Kenny Smith had the most hilarious all Star weekend commentary in a basketball game ever
mBroshi92 - YES. Live 2005, though.
ernie is a fighter, legend and icon. love this dude
6 kids...sounds like he has 9 kids with Kenny chuck and Shaq
ernie johnson might be one of the greatest people ive ever had the pleasure of knowing thanks to television. So much respect for him
Ernie is a legend! So glad he's fought through cancer and continues to be on TV. Inside the NBA is my favourite sports broadcast (even more than First Take).
Ernie 🐐🐐🐐🐐 Johnson
Now this guy is the GOAT, great guy, great class act. What he said for Craig at his memorial was truly something. We miss you Craig!
I love EJ. He makes basketball even more enjoyable to watch.
Ernie is like the cool dad of three crazy kids. Inside the NBA is GOAT
who else watch inside the nba more than the games
Ernie is a man amongst men
Inside the NBA is better than damn near any basketball show I've seen in the years I've been watching pro ball. Those guys are real, honest and love the game
He’s that type of tv personality that you don’t even have to see his face as soon as you hear his voice you know it’s Ernie ....can’t really imagine sports without him at this point
Ernie is the Yoda of inside the NBA 😊
Ernie is by far my favorite sports commentator.
Ernie the man. And he's a fellow believer
Marquis De Sade it doesnt matter what denomination. So long as he knows the LORD.
John KT I've actually heard him quote scripture before
I always tell myself to appreciate him while he’s still here doing tv
Ernie's the best out of the TNT crew
Love this man, Chuck and EJ only reason I watch TNT to be honest
Iam constantly surprised how well Ernie is very educated every day
Never thought I'd see ej on espn. I've seen it all lol
Ernie is the GOAT at what he does. Respect to the OG
I lOVE EJ! Been watching inside the NBA since the late 1990s and it has always been a phenomenal show!
Inside the NBA would not work if anyone but Ernie was the host great man, great personality
When the real OG is in the studio even SAS got humble.
I know I don't see it much
Funny how he talking about Inside the NBA not being scripted while the ESPN shows are all scripted especially first take.
I swear Stephen A takes the longest routes just to get to a simple question lol
How can you love this man ... Ernie you’re appreciated
The G.O.A.T.
Ernie the GOAT Johnson
Everybody love Ernie
"he aint white, he lightskin"
all of this talk to make us forget that chis webber was not inducted into the HOF
this the first comment I've seen about c-webb i don't understand how fans are not pissed
Republika Dugave
Overrated career
Melvin Carter you need a stand up routine.. thats hillarious... go and watch some film on cwebb... he was underrated as fuck..
C-Webb is not a hall of famer.
terry bell and miller and mullin are?? how so??
He was being nice saying shaq name he didn't want to leave him out but Kenny and Charles are the best on the show
earnie your the man! I dont know what I will do when this show isnt around anymore.
Inside the NBA is the best. I watch it more than NBA games 😂
Ernie raised me through the television on TBS and TNT starting in 1989, and watching this is bringing a tear to my eye, he truly is on of our planets best ambassadors on doing things the right way. 👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻
Where were your parents lmao
That Guy's a real class act
Whn Ernie speaks,even dead pple listen...He's so humble n his words are weightier than a four score
Ernie is a honorary Nigga 💯
Inside the NBA really is pure gold. Always get some great laughs and good convo out of those guys.
Love him in Inside the NBA an specially on Open court the chemistry this guy's have its special to watch.
Elevator Ernie!
The way he says handicapped child show that he's a great man , no sugar coated , no self pity... just reality, love and support
its crazy the amount of respect he gets from this table. Ernie is a legend!
Man I wish we still have years and years of Inside the NBA, these guys are legends especially Ernie 🐐 I can’t imagine Inside the NBA without those 4
So much respect for this man.
Erine a class act
Buy his book as a show of gratitude for his contributions to sports, entertainment, and most of all... his humanity. Dude's a class act with a big heart.
he has a great energy about him
ernie is a true professional and the reallll mvp. he speaks wisdom. and everyone listens
love Ernie's loyalty and his defense of Chuck/Shaq/Kenny's analysis, you can tell he believes it too
I under estimated Ernie's role on the show. I thought that they didnt need him on the show with Chuck and Kenny at first (& now Shaq), but, it is obvious he is the foundation, the work horse, the glue, the clean up man that keeps the machine well oiled.
I love this dude, nothing but class he personifies
Man, Ernie. My words are indescribable for what I think of this man. Love the guy so much. Show would be nothing with out Ernie !
Ernie: I’m one of the hosts of “the nba on tnt.”
Stephen A.: You’re wrong and I’ll tell you why.
OG Ernie!!
First Take x Inside the NBA would be the most ambitious and greatest cross over of all time
Ernie Johnson; class act and always professional. He is the glue that holds those nuts together and that show wouldn't be the same without him.
I respect this man so much.
Respect everything this man said.
Ernie is a G for life lol, love this guy.
So well spoken
great interview! great show! great man!
Man is a living legend
When Ernie speaks, everyone listens. What a man
Ernie, is a great person! I have to say if you haven't read his book it is a MUST READ! I hope that he publishes some more books in the near future.
Ej is an OG!
he is in complete understanding of his enviroment and its purpose, complete control of his motives and is able to explain how his surroundings work like they do
Ernie is the 🐐
Ernie's Shaq voice is on point
Got to love Ernie.
Ernie Johnson is literally the reason I love the NBA.
Ernie Johnson is one of the best guys ever
