We know you, Ernie. You've been a welcome guest into our homes for years now. You weren't force-fed to us. We've become "family", over time, through shared circumstances, in much the same way that your relationships with Kenny, Shaq & Charles have evolved. We thank GOD for you, Ernie. We stand with you, we mourn & commiserate along with you and your family. Truly, our hearts are with you, sir.
@@GoGetYourShinebox I have interacted with people who have personally met Ernie and had pictures taken with him…I personally met Shaq and he’s very nice too …. I wouldn’t say he’s genuinely a nice caring guy unless I met or know someone who did
Ernie Johnson is a father figure in a way to a lot of us, in terms of displaying kindness, humility, and what it means to be a good man. I hope he and his family are well
I find some ppl just don't understand the dislike button and they press it to mean they dislike his son passed see it as a not good button and the news wasn't good. Bless Michael.

Ernie, you’re such a stand up character… never thought a sports broadcaster would inspire me to be a better person. You’re an amazing role model and to see your loss is emotionally stirring… prayers to you and your family.
A parent should never have to lose a child. Ernie Johnson is one of the great ones and I hope the prayers to him and his family will help heal them quickly. God bless
Ernie legit seems like the mist genuine nice kind hearted dude on the show. I dont think he will see this but honestly i send my condolences and hope he can heal and feels that love and support Prayers to you Ernie
There’s no pain worse than losing your child. If I lost my son I couldn’t go on. He’s my light in this world. I admire Ernie’s strength because I wouldn’t be able to carry on. I wouldn’t be here anymore if I lost my boy.
There are many things you can say about President Kennedy. Some that are good and, like any human being, not so good. However, when he buried his newborn son in 1963 he said, "It is against the laws of human nature for a parent to bury their child." Regardless of what you think of President Kennedy, he was right about that.
Ernie is honestly the most blessed human being on TV, so many people look up to him spiritually. Love you Ernie stay strong buddy we’re all praying for you & your family our condolences go out to you. ❤️🙏
I’ve never met EJ in person, but I can say with 💯% confidence : Ernie, you are a GREAT Man. The overwhelming amount of Condolences and Well wishing sent to you and yours speaks to that fact. Once again, all the Best to the Johnson Family 🙌🏽💐
Ernie is a role model, I usually don’t ever type messages like this to anybody, but honestly from the bottom of my heart I send you my condolences. May he Rest In Peace
Thank you I said the same thing when I seen down votes or whatever they're called. Bet that they are the ones crying the most when it happens to them. EJ is a true one, wish the world had more people like him.
This tragedy couldn't happen to a nicer man. God bless his family through their loss. And to the 89 people who disliked this video, go choke on a lemon
I’ve never ever seen a situation where three giants of professional sports, many many many hunfdreds of millions of dollars between them GENUINELY love and care for their older, non sport playing colleague like this. They adore Ernie. And it’s deserving. 😊😊
@@TK-dj1cy I think he's being facetious because they don't really revere Terry at all. In fact, Howie regularly tries to knock him down a peg (deservedly so).
A father should never have to bury his child truly a sad time for EJ. Thank you so much for your devotion to this game that we love. I’m giving you every flower possible much love ❤❤❤
Ernie, a man of class and immeasurable stature. Thank you for being the father every man should step up to be. I’m sorry for your loss and my condolences to your family.
I remember seeing a story on Ernie's special needs son. As I watched this loving father feed him and groom him it let all who were watching know what a special man this was and how blessed his son was to have a father who although is very affluent and wealthy did not put his son in a care facility but kept him home and loved on him until God decided to make him an angel. It's been a year since his son passed, but we pray Ernie and his family's heart has healed
EJ is literally the best of us as humans. We don't deserve him, but I'm so thankful I've been able to watch him and see his love for everyone for years
Ernie has always been so genuine and real, it breaks my heart to hear the pain in his voice. No father should have to bury their son. That is every parents nightmare. I'll be praying, God Bless.
Michael is in Heaven in the good hands of the Lord looking down at his father EJ with Love ❤️. God used EJ and his family to love on Michael unconditionally and adopt him when no else would. He is a true servant of the Lord. God bless the Johnson’s
I'm saddened to hear this news about Mr. Johnson's son. Ernie is and always has been a class act. I hope that he and his family can at some point find time to heal and fondly look back on their sons life. I'm glad he has his basketball family to lean on. Shaq, Kenny and Charles are great friends for him. Its good to see them back together.
To Ernie, from one father to another, my condolences and my prayers go out to you and your family. To the people at Turner, thanks for setting aside a piece of the segment to let Ernie do his thing. Your a gift Ernie, in more ways than you know. The gems and life lessons you drop on this show is something so many of us appreciate each and every day. Thank you and Gob Bless
Ernie is a class act. Anyone who has watched this show loves all these guys. They all seem like great people. As a father, I can’t imagine what he’s going through right now.
Prayer to Ernie and his family! I remember when the TNT crew was in Toronto for the Finals he was the only one that came down to shake hands with everyone around the front. He is always a very nice guy!
Ernie Johnson is honestly such a blessing. It hurts a lot to see him in such pain, but I’ll always be thankful that he was able to share just how special a person Michael was to the world. Hope his family and him continue to stay strong and we forever celebrate Michael’s name 🙏
I speak for all fans of this show: We love you EJ!

Honestly most of the crew is. Shaq and Chuck really nice people too
Ernie and his family just proved it once again
It’s cause he loves Jesus!
They seem nice but we only know them from TV

I knew the day Ernie gave Stuart Scott's daughters Ernie's Emmy for sportscasting that this was a different dude, so much respect for this man.

Same and my son finna be one it’s hard
Same man. I couldn’t imagine losing my son or my daughter. It would be extremely tough for me
Ernies son was severely disabled and out lived the most generous prognosis. He was a miracle.
I can’t disagree. My boy is everything to me. Even as a grown up he is my best buddy. He better never think of leaving before me.

Welling up watching this. Ernie is a national treasure. We'd all be fortunate to have him in our family.
Ernie is the Mr. Rogers of the NBA world. I’m grateful for his presence and I wish him the best. I hope you can find peace Mr. Johnson.
That’s a great comparison. He’s probably the most beloved in all of sports media
Mr. Rogers of sports media, period
@@Ryanjleary lw im tryna think of someone else at that level but cant. Ernie the goat

Not the NBA world….sports in general. I haven’t watched basketball at any level in 25 years yet I hold this man in the highest regard.
He has the eyes of a man who’s been letting it all out these past few days. We love you Ernie

Happy to see him back. Ernie and his wife are kind souls, they have Michael enough love to fill a thousand lifetimes. Thoughts go to his family
“Love you too” Big Ern, no more powerful words spoken

EJ is probably the only person in sports or in the media that everyone loves. And he absolutely deserves it.
