Good luck Ernie. I’ve always enjoy Inside The NBA. You keep the show together and make it fun at the same time. You look like a young 70 to me. I just retired myself last year and you are doing it right. You have a retirement plan in place and you will find you will still be crazy busy, but doing the things you want to do when you want to do it. Enjoy your last season and the next phase of your life.
Ej you the goat the show will never be the same w/o you best show In tv history salute bro 🫡🐐
We love you. Thank you for everything over the years Ernie.

Ernie you’ve been part of my life for years, I’ve loved watching you, you’ve been instrumental in my love for basketball.
I definitely will miss you. I pray for you, that this new season in your life will draw you closer to the Lord Jesus (I’ve heard you are a Christian), draw you closer to your family, and you continue to do what you love to do!
