I used to think he was the token white guy they had to have on the show but I really love what he brings to the show! He’s the perfect compliment to the crew
@@eternal60214 well good thing I know you've clearly never been too Wisconsin or Milwaukee. This state celebrates tons of cultures ever summer almost ever week 🤣😭 just stop and please never step foot in this beautiful state
Bryce Wilson Yeah man. I’m about to leave my childhood home and I can’t imagine what it would feel like if I come back 40 years later. Very emotional. Lots of memories
Cannot name a bad thing about EJ, seems like one of the most genuine people in reporting of all time. So touching to see him maintain his roots and then for those roots to eventually celebrate. Truly touching
@Jacob Tyler I mean, even when he is about to cry at 2:59 when hugging the grandma, he is still doing an one-arm hug. Maybe instead of always assuming people ain't genuine by 'studying body language', just appreciate the class act people do???
@Jacob Tyler Well, I am sure you have blessed your neighbourhood more than Ernie Johnson did with your "study of body language". Why is it such a problem for one-arm hug, I really don't understand you. You've never done a genuine one-arm hug before? Maybe your life will be much more happier if you stop always doubting people's generosity and appreciate what people have done for their community
@Jacob Tyler your observation is correct. It looked a bit weird, which to me it means there had to be some circumstances we don't know about, EJ has been pure class all the time. Looking at how difficult it was for him to get out and back into the bus, maybe he was injured, or just going through a low phase?
Jacob Tyler yea clearly he’s so ungrateful you can tell because his right foot is in front of his left foot by 6inches and his fingers at 2:15 move a little more than normal
Happy Ernie Johnson Day! Ain't gonna lie. Watching EJ get emotional got me emotional. John Madden may be the only guy I've watched on TV longer than Ernie.
Hey EJ Shaq Chuck and Kenny you are one hella a family great for tv for all ages keep up these great work!!! Shout out too EJ for dealing with them 3kids everyday especially Shaq and Chuck love you guys!!!!!
he'll be in as a contributor and the whole inside the NBA show will end up in the Naismith hall of fame as well. the show is already in the broadcasting hall of fame.
Ernie, so much respect for the pride you take in your home town. Big up Shaq and Chuck for being there too. Kenny, you're from NY so you can do no wrong, I'm sure you had a pressing engagement! ;-) My favorite show on TV.
mbradleyc not really papa johns provided pizza for the whole neighborhood and he just shouted out the people that had sausages they shouted out everyone whether they have endorsements or not. And this is the first time I recall him even endorsing papa johns on air
That was beautiful! Ernie bounced back from cancer, makes his show #1 in basketball commentary, deals with them N EGO's Shaq and Chuck and still never forgets where he came from! He makes you proud to be an American.
I grew up 7 blocks from there, it really was a great neighborhood. Had my first kiss and first fight at Endris park. Brings back a lot of memories. Welcome home Ernie!
Awe, Ernie so nice you went to visit your old neighborhood. I saw Charles made himself at home, as only Charles can. Seemed like you guys had a nice time. This was really good to see!
I can relate to Ernie, and being an emotional moment seeing where you grew up again, I too got to visit the house I was born in, it's a surreal feeling, because you never thought you'd ever be there again, good lookin' out Ernie...
I geniunely love those 4 guys. I like the three more post basketball. And Earnie, he's awesome. Shaq, Barkley, Kenny they're just good guys. They all great from their basketball days.
Wauwatosa stand up! Having lived in Milwaukee for a couple years, one of my favorite areas of the city. Shoutout Quarry Hills and Mayfair. Shoutout Pizza Man and the people at O'Sullivan's (technically Brookfield, but whatevs) that always made me feel like I was part of the neighborhood.
Ernie gets respect from players because he has always been fair and honest in his reporting. He jokes a bit during Shaqtinafool but otherwise he highlights positives in a player rather than trashing them like most sports reporters do. Kenny and Charles are a bit too old but Shaq played all of his career with Ernie reporting on it. I know he appreciates someone who never hated on him.
You know what I love about these guys? Nobody is black or white, none of them let their egos get in the way. I’m a hockey fan from Minnesota, but I try to never miss these guys when they’re on. The NBA is so fortunate to have these ambassadors of the game. We all are fortunate to share their friendship.
In a shocking twist...Ernie invites the gang to HIS cookout....
Dallas Drotts 😂😂😂
Dallas Drotts but did he play Frankie Beverly and Maze?
💀
😂😂
Dallas Drotts gang gang!
Chuck sleeping in Ernies childhood home. Good times!
imallfordabulls ernie grew up in that house loving basketball and then one day came back with charles barkley lol how badass is that
Ernie the realest man in broadcast
Been watching him since I was real young...a legend
Patrick Hoey facts!!!!
Skiiiup
May his son RIP
I remember when Ernie was young… he still has supple thighs though. So it’s cool
So cool. These 4 are legends. They should cover the NbA finals. ABC is cool but TNT should do bonus coverage with these 4 legends.
Yes!
ESPN's NBA coverage is trash
actually they do but on nba tv, and they're usually split , though shaq and chuck are together somehow lol
Robert Bui it's still not the same they need to be together

I love the relationship Shaq and Ernie share with each other.
No doubt, it's definitely a brotherhood thing...
SO TRUE! I love it too. I also think Chuck is a little disrespectful at times.
@@ginni1998 that’s only because Ernie and Chuck are wayyyyy closer. Like brothers. Ernie is like Shaq’s uncle
@@ginni1998 which is exactly why we love him
same
Ernie gets a sponsor...."Ernie, you're selling out" 😂😂
Exactly lol
Its bc he's had a sponsor 2 nights in a row lol
Chuck..”Aye Ernie,I’m gone help you with that product tonight..”🤣🤣🤣
EJ making me cry 😭

Ernie never forgot where he came from. The mean streets of Milwaukee
Ernie Johnson is the glue that keeps the TNT crew together. We love you man!
I used to think he was the token white guy they had to have on the show but I really love what he brings to the show! He’s the perfect compliment to the crew
Lets start a petition(Game of thrones style) for the TNT crew to cover the finals! They deserve it!
Kai ill spend 100 gold(dollar) piece for that TNT crew are the best
Chuck don't wanna work man 😂
Yeah they should get it every year. But its on basic cable aint it?
I just realized didn't Ernie have a health problem that prevents him traveling great distances frequently? Is it cured now?
I'm definitely with you, but it feels a bit selfish on our part. Y'all know Chuck enjoys his off-season, and I wouldn't want to infringe on that.
Mean streets of Milwaukee.
100spurs them four fours.
Cant believe how great this tnt crew. There not even trying to be great, they just have fun together. Ends up being great to watch.
62 !! Ernie looks great for 62!
That's not *old* , these days. Just saying..
Exercise and diet will do wonders
@@sleptking1707
*Add* a healthy mental attitude to that--- it's a must, to go along with a peaceful and happy life. Ernie shows the package.
RIP to Ernie's mom. Seeing her made me tear up, she obviously was so kind.
I'm crying I love TNT and the entire crew this was awesome. I love that Ernie is wearing the hoodie a fan wore and gave Ernie
NBA on tnt is good morning America for men. Y’all the best 😂

But better
Niiiiiiice.....
So true 😭😭
@@timv778 better x 100
I love how they all genuinely love Ernie's up bringing!
Thank you Ernie and TNT for showing the beautiful of Milwaukee. This city has never gotten this much attention.
I been to Wisconsin before. It's so beautiful during spring. Best 4 day vacation I had. Peaceful as well.
As racist as it is out there, doesn't deserve good attention
@@eternal60214 well good thing I know you've clearly never been too Wisconsin or Milwaukee. This state celebrates tons of cultures ever summer almost ever week 🤣😭 just stop and please never step foot in this beautiful state
@@WiscoCheese beautiful, racist state. Don't worry. I won't step a foot in that flyover state
Mal Cool story bro, we all care a lot.
the house that built him! what an emotional day for him i can hardly imagine. tying his new life with his old life.
Bryce Wilson Yeah man. I’m about to leave my childhood home and I can’t imagine what it would feel like if I come back 40 years later. Very emotional. Lots of memories
Ernie Johnson is pearl of a person.
Cannot name a bad thing about EJ, seems like one of the most genuine people in reporting of all time. So touching to see him maintain his roots and then for those roots to eventually celebrate. Truly touching
Ernie must be protected at all costs man. Such a great guy and I love that the panel has so much love for him. These guys are friends for life
They all need to be.
Growin' up on the old ESPN is nostalgic,...these greats are the breath of fresh air a lot the game needs.
Peace and blessings all
I love how much respect the guys have for EJ. He’s such a treasure. What a great man.
"Nice Ernie, check out those SLACKS!" 😭😂
Are those new slacks?? 😂 Old lady from SB if anyone remembers it
Ernie is a class act!!
Why u say that
Ernie such a good dude love the relationship these four share
ernie's hood!
Shaqs energy about the brauts was real
Ketchup tho
Break out the Mustard Baby!
Ernie a true good guy. Congratulations!!!
Ernie’s the biggest G on television 💯
Ernie trying to act all cool at 2:24, pretending he’s not about to become a bag of emotions lol

Yes, we are
This was awesome!!!! Love seeing vids like these. Thank you ernie
By far the best pre and post game show on television !!!
Shaq shows he has a huge amount of respect and reverence for EJ.
They just got there and Chuck is already falling asleep!
EJ's the GOAT! Seriously. Awesome broadcaster and amazing guy!
Ernie the heart of that crew
I’ve watched this 4 times. Love this crew!
This crew is top shelf
All of them have big hearts
And are super funny
Hope the band stays together forever
EJ is the definition of class
Chuck was trying to interrupt about 5 seconds to say "Them brats 'er nice!" Welcome to Wisconsin, brotha
I’m not crying my eyes are just sweating
The best crew in the world. The chemistry is imcredible
Ernie what an awesome dude, God bless you brotha..
Been watching this show since it was a solo act, love Ernie and the rest of the guys.
