Keeps them in line??? Without them, that show would suck. Charles & Kenny are the ones responsible for the popularity of the show. So 'Master Ernie' doesn't keep anyone in line!

There's something genuine and heartwarming about a friend genuinely happy for another friend's success. Both Ernie's initial reaction ("What's going on, Chuckster?") and Barkey's wanting to tell him the news oozes with wholesome goodiness.

"Chuckster..what are you talking about?" So in the feels. You deserve it, Ernie.

This is exactly why we love Ernie. Humble, and a genuinely good person.

Congratulations to Ernie! I honestly didn’t know that particular HOF was a thing but he definitely embodies what a hall of famer is.

Tearing up for a man I’ve never met. He’s so deserving. Congrats Ernie! The people love you 💛

Ernie, so deserved. What a great carrer.

Man Ernie! Congrats! You need an award for putting up with Chuck, Shaq, and Kenny for all these years! Lol I know you love it and I don't blame you! I see you doing so many sports broadcasting shows and when I hear your voice it tells me that there is integrity, truth and genuine reporting. Thank you so much!! Well deserved! Chuck, great job presenting this!

So happy for Ernie ,so well deserved and how special it must have felt to have Charles be the one to tell him.

Very well deserved! I’ve always loved any show that Ernie has been on. His passion transfers through the screen and never fails to mix entertainment with information.

Ernie is a national treasure

I’m Irish and only get to watch the clips on KZread but Ernie seems like such a humble guy. Love him doing the basketball coverage with Sir Charles, Shaq and Kenny!

Well deserved. Absolutely fantastic person on and off camera, and has been working in this scene for a looooong time. God bless him and the whole tnt crew.

So deserved. Saw the piece about how he helps his disabled son around the clock when he doesn’t work. Good dude

MUCH deserved. i love Ernie truly. such a kind man and a big part of a lot of people's lives.

"Chuckster what are you talking about?" This dude is so wholesome, so deserved

Welllll deserved such a kind spirit always humble always doing what’s best for everybody else u def deserve this Ernie so happy for you

Nothing but love for Ernie. What a wonderful human being ❤

Congrats Ernie 🎉

I can't think of a more deserving dude, I can't think of a better guy to announce it, and I've never seen a more sincere reaction. Love you Ernie, you're a legend.

Shedding happy tears for a man I don't even know. Sometimes we don't even know how we reach people with Positivity. Never Change Ernie...Never Change

Hell yeah, Ernie! You’re the most memorable commentator in modern nba history outside of Mike Breen. Extremely well deserved, and congratulations!

Earnie deserves this so much. Such an incredible stand up human being. Ernie has really helped the NBA grow in such an amazing way but he also is an impeccable example for what a man should be.

Congratulations, well deserved

Man that's so great, well deserved. There are very few people in the media who are as genuinely humble and good people as Ernie is. Congrats man!

there is not a human being that deserved this more... I teared up. And to have Chuck break the news was a genius idea...

Great news for Mr Ernie Johnson Jr.: great journalist, great sportscaster, great man, now also broadcasting Hall of Famer. To me (and many other fans, I believe) he was already a hall of famer as a human being for what he and his wife have been doing as parents, for his charity work, and his humble and kind approach to the too often hyped and egotistical world of the NBA. Love you too from Italy!

Well done Ernie on this achievement. You deserve this dude

Ernie has such a good personality that you can’t help but enjoy watching and listening to him.

Congratulations Ernie! You are true gentleman, and a wonderful broadcaster!! Well deserved!

Damn there’s so much love for Ernie. Such a class act ❤

I love this man. What a great man.

He so deserves this, if for no other reason than having to sit between Shaq and Barkley all these years. ❤

Definitely crying. Can’t deserve it more than Ernie did. Legend.

Ernie is so Humble because if there's a guy that deserves that honor is him.😂

I'm shocked he wasn't already there. One of the best to ever do it. A whole living legend. We love you Ernie!! Congrats my man!

I just love their relationship. Good men supporting each other and showing respect and admiration. We need more of that 👏🏽

Nothing has ever been more deserved. Love and respect EJ.

I don't think they realize how incredible that show is, seriously, people that don't even watch basketball love that show. well deserved

You can see how touched he really is. Congrats Ernie, you're the best!

Ernie is such a solid example of how to be a friend, father, husband, son and man...👊🏾👊🏿👊🏽👊🏻🇺🇸

Ernie is the absolute man. Not only the best at what he does, keeping those three lunatics in check every night, but truly a great person, and a great MAN. CONGRATULATIONS, ERNIE, Well deserved.

Least they can do for having to put up with those knuckleheads all these years
