Mike Breen, Tim Legler, and Richard Jefferson pay tribute to Ernie Johnson

It’s a day that NBA fans have been dreading for some time, and it has finally come. On Wednesday, legendary broadcaster Ernie Johnson announced that this would be his final season on Inside the NBA . Johnson first broke the news via his own social media channels, and then followed that up by opening Wednesday’s episode of Inside the NBA with the same monologue. “It’s been an honor to share so many nights, decades actually, at the desk with my brothers, Kenny, Charles, and Shaq, and with our production crews who are so talented and devoted,” Johnson said.
