His statement was amazing.

Good Job, Ernie. Keep fighting.

Thanks for letting me know, BBD. I had noticed previously that he had something wrong but I didn't know it was such a serious situation.

no problem isetcap.

i didn't notice either at first, till i started really looking after he made the announcement.

man that's tough news...i don't watch NBA anymore but when I did I really liked him. Strong personality and a good sports journalist as well especially compared to the douchebags he is on air with on a nightly basis. I hope he makes it through.

Keep fighting Erine, and dont give up.

It's really a shame because I really like his style of broadcasting.

I like him a lot too. He makes the games fun. He says he's not going anywhere for a while though. I hope that's true.

Ernie is great at what he does. I wish good luck and support.
