Charles Barkley and Ernie Johnson are rumored to be leaving after the upcoming NBA season.
Barry Grant JrHOST
So Ernie Johnson is the one that's reportedly leaving, but Charles Barkley is just like, "It's a package deal with me and Ernie.
Barry Grant JrHOST
If Ernie's gone, then I'm gone." And once Inside the NBA went to ESPN, I knew it was over.
Barry Grant JrHOST
Like, it, it's not gonna be the same.
Barry Grant JrHOST
They don't wanna just sit down there and collect a check.
Barry Grant JrHOST
It's insulting.
Barry Grant JrHOST
And when ESPN comes in there and they try to muddy up this show, it's-- I'm sure it's insulting for Ernie Johnson.
J.E. SkeetsHOST
Yeah.
Tas MelasHOST
But as the podcast episode went on, I mean, he admitted to what Ernie Johnson is basically planning on doing.
Tas MelasHOST
Now, he doesn't know what Ernie Johnson is gonna do, but Ernie is 70, and so that's why I'm starting to buy it, 'cause Ernie Johnson needs to retire at some point.
Tas MelasHOST
The great Ernie needs to hang it up at some point, and I think this might be it.
Trey KirbyHOST
And Chuck, and-
Tas MelasHOST
... is hanging it up, again, he's an older man.
Tas MelasHOST
The great Ernie's gotta stop at some point.
J.E. SkeetsHOST
Yeah, but the headline is not Ernie Johnson plans to, uh-
John IrelandHOST
He says that every year.
Steve MasonHOST
Uh, he says he's gonna keep doing the show as long as Ernie Johnson is there, and Ernie plans to stay for two more seasons.
Steve MasonHOST
Barkley says he and Ernie are a package deal, which is interesting.
Steve MasonHOST
I mean, I, th- Ernie is, like, one of the most beloved guys in sports.
