Here’s the thing, if you hate Elevator Ernie, you ain’t human. That’s it. Every ppl regardless of the race and/or color just loves EJ because he just captivates everyone of us to listen to what he has to say. This award is long overdued, and the way Shaq, Ken-NY, and Chuckster made their way for EJ, its truly fun to watch, and only fitting for EJ.
i had been waiting all season for this game because i wanted to see ernie talk about the mavs, and was so genuinely mad when it was just another person talking about the same thing
Ernies the kinda man you hope you can be close to someday as far as emulating his humbleness and kindness. Definitely we'll deserved and couldn't happen to a better guy. Congrats Ernie!
Ernie is one of the best on television and for TNT. But he is an even better human, that speaks volumes. Congratulations on such a great honor and we are grateful to get to watch him.
During the Toronto Allstars game I met Ernie coming outta work with the major sports team in the elevator. We walked and talked for 20 minutes. Had a picture and great conversation and ended a restaurant recommendation. Class act gentleman and honored to have be able to share a laugh with him.
Proud to say that Ernie, Kevin Harlan, Dan Roan and Mike Fratello narrated the games that were the most memorable of my childhood. I grew up listening to all of these guys do the play-by-play and all of them are of the absolute highest calibur; the highest of high being Ernie Johnson. Big ups to Ernie on the recognition that has been long overdue. Congrats, Ernie! You're the best!
Which is funny enough part of what makes him great. Normally the ones who don’t want the power nor the recognition are the ones who so richly deserve it
My man Ernie Johnson. Congratulations and well deserved! He's the epitome of the kind of person we all should want to be - professional, humble, compassionate, a fighter, funny, authentic, man of God, etc. I have enjoyed watching him for half of my life and can't imagine Inside the NBA without him. He's definitely the type who is invited to any and every cookout and special event. God bless him & his continued success.
No one deserves this more than Ernie Johnson. God bless him and his family and thank you for trying to keep the show on the road with all those personalities
Ernie Johnson Jr. Has been part of my life for along time. He doesnt know that, that hes been there when I was a kid growing up thinking that I'd be in the NFL or MLB while watching the NBA and loving the game. He was there when I injured myself and ripped my labrum off my hip. He was there when I had my surgeries telling my I would never be allowed to go on with my dream. He was there when I started rehab and had to learn to walk again. He has been there through the ups and downs. So I am grateful a caring, loving funny guy is the face of NBA broadcasting. I hope he continues to be here for along time. He can teach us all something, even just here for a little bits at times.
man ernie johnson is someone we should all strive to be, so humble kind and compassionate. honestly feels so rare these days to find people like these it feels like
So well deserved. Class, grace, tremendous talent, enormous accomplishment, and incredible humility all combined into one. Congratulations Ernie. And thank you.
Ernie is such a kind soul to everyone. He has a heart of gold. I believe he is a template we should all replicate for being kind to everyone regardless of who each person is. He’s selfless and the words he uses are more impactful than we all realize. Love you Ernie and you taught me so much to use my actions and voice to impact people around me❤
Congratulations Mr. Johnson!! Such a class act… humility and a heart of giving selflessly beyond what we see on television. Continue to walk your path of success that’s been ordained by touching so many lives. Stay blessed
Well and truly deserved for the goat of American Sports Broadcasting aka the Godfather Elevator Ernie Johnson 🐐🐐🐐 thank you for your amazing service over the years Ernie 🔥🙏🏽

That was worth the time to watch and appreciate. He reminds me of my Dad. What a kind and great guy who is also a man of faith. Inspiring for sure and a national treasure! Way to go, Ernie.
Congrats Earnie on your induction in to the Hall of Fame and your many years of excellent broadcasting! You are proof that nice guys don’t finish last😊
Ernie is a true professional and a legend in the business. We are lucky to have been able to watch him over all these years. Honestly I could watch a whole episode of inside the NBA that was just people telling Ernie stories and talking about how great he is.
Ernie with the bars!!!!!!💪💪💪💪💪💪💪 God bless him and his loved ones😊❤️🙏 We love you, Ernie!!!!😊❤ Thank you for being the point guard for our NBA on TNT crew! We truly appreciate you!!😊
This is so awesome and hella well deserved As a fellow journalist college graduate...EJ is a role model and someone I look up to This is best news to come across the wire in a long time
Ernie has such integrity and humility - always has something good to say of others and has an infectious positivity on life. Ernie deserves all the acolades he receives and more. He is truly a rare gentleman in a world full of boys. We look up to you, EJ! Keep being you!
As a guy who is currently majoring in sportscasting in college Ernie is truly one of my inspirations that I look up to and study to become great in the sports media business a true GOAT 🐐 🐐
This is why I love basketball. Sports have a way of uniting us all under a common cause of competition and mutual respect. In this we can all learn a lesson on togetherness and unity.
This was long overdue. Congratulations to the GOAT who stacks paper to the ceiling and rides on 24 inch chrome. And I'm glad Kenny, Chuck and Shaq got to award him!
Legitimately impossible to hate Ernie Johnson. Greatest to ever do it. Congratulations!
I'm not a huge fan of basketball but I watch some and keep my ear to the ground. Ernie is easily one of my favorite parts of the NBA. Living legend

He can pull up to any cookout in any city and get a plate. He's got soul and humility, cant ask for more.
rich man cook out, black delegation cook out, anything, anywhere. he is that one person that deserves it 100%
The black delegation with the number 1 pick selects Ernie Johnson
@@reyzorisk2783for shizzle
@@reyzorisk2783what you offering for that number 1 pick👀🙏🏾 needs the man EJ
Ernie is the darkest man on planet earth. Respect
He’s just a very nice, humorous and humble individual. Well deserved to be inducted into the sports broadcasting hall of fame
I love Ernie I don't think this show would be where it is without Ernie he's so good at what he does nobody else can replace him. That's greatness
yeah ernie is irreplacable but this fella in his chair has some charisma i cant lie
I mean it’s his show so…
i had been waiting all season for this game because i wanted to see ernie talk about the mavs, and was so genuinely mad when it was just another person talking about the same thing
Nobody can replace anybody in that show, everyone brings something different to the table and TNT lets them cook.
The whole cast just first so well I love it
Ernie is unique. The way he can wrangle and manage the pace and subject of the Three Stooges is a unique talent.
Well said.
ERNIE HELD IT DOWN FOR MULTIPLE DECADES AND HAS STAYED SOLID THROUGHOUT, WE LOVE YOU FOREVER ERNIE JOHNSON NOW YOU’RE ENSHRINED FOREVER
Deserved Sir Ernie Johnson, you are a legend!
Ernies the kinda man you hope you can be close to someday as far as emulating his humbleness and kindness. Definitely we'll deserved and couldn't happen to a better guy. Congrats Ernie!
Ernie is such a class act. Thank you for all your years of service and dedication to your craft! And patience with Chuck/Shaq 😂
Just so thankful that Ernie is still here with us throughout his health battles. NBA on TNT would never be what it is without The Godfather.
The GOAT When it comes to basketball analysts. No one does it better. Congrats EJ.
Ernie is UNDEFEATED. He is definitely The Godfather in my book. Just an incredible, humble man
Congrats Ernie! You deserve it!

You can tell Ernie is uncomfortable accepting such praise, he wants to get right back to work ❤️
Which is funny enough part of what makes him great.

When Kenny showed that tour of the offices and Kenny was right at work I wasn't in the least but surprised.

I have fond memories of watching Inside the NBA with my dad since the Bulls’ run. Ernie has definitely been the heart and soul of that show.
Ernie is an amazing man…….I didn't know he (and presumably his wife) had adopted 4 children. WOW……..that is a huge humanitarian gesture.
