Ernie Johnson’s incredibly inspirational and beautiful speech to Alabama’s football team

Ernie Johnson has long been a star of TNT’s fantastic pre- and post-game NBA shows that have given us so many laughs throughout the years.

But away from the cameras he’s an even better person and father.

This week he stopped by the University of Alabama and delivered a powerful speech to Nick Saban’s football team about his “get to” job but more importantly he spoke about one of his kids, Michael, who he and his wife adopted from Romania and who has muscular dystrophy.

It’s no secret to anyone that Ernie Johnson has always been a great person but if you needed more proof, just watch this video. It will change your day and the way you look at things.
