Cable show "Inside the NBA" is hosted by Ernie Johnson, Jr., who won an Emmy award as "best studio host." Would I watch a show about professional basketball? Of course not - but for this post I did watch a few youtube clips and after that, well, maybe I would because it looks pretty fun.
Johnson is good at managing the fun with Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley. But beyond the sports, Barkley describes him as having "
uncommon courage and a pure heart."
A trailer for ESPN's profile story of Ernie is
here. In 2006 he told his viewers that he'd been diagnosed with cancer. "
What he then said still brings tears to a colleague’s eyes. After thanking his doctors and expressing his gratitude for the audience’s concern he said: “And [my family continues], as we always have, in both good times and bad, to place our faith in Jesus Christ, and to trust God . . . period.”
