Publisher's Summary

Ernie Johnson, Jr., has been in the game a long time. With one of the most recognized voices in sports broadcasting, he is a tireless perfectionist when it comes to preparing and delivering his commentary. Yet he knows that some of sports' greatest triumphs - and life's greatest rewards - come from those unscripted moments you never anticipated.

In this heartfelt, gripping autobiography, the three-time Sports Emmy Award winner and popular host of TNT's Inside the NBA provides a remarkably candid look at his life both on and off the screen. From his relationship with his sportscaster father to his own rise to the top of sports broadcasting, from battling cancer to raising six children with his wife, Cheryl, including a special needs child adopted from Romania, Ernie has taken the important lessons he learned from his father and passed them on to his own children.

This is the untold story, the one Ernie has lived after the lights are turned off and the cameras stop rolling. Sports fans, cancer survivors, fathers and sons, adoptive parents, those whose lives have been touched by a person with special needs, anyone who loves stories about handling life's surprises with grace - Unscripted is for all of these.

Thank You Ernie

This book changed my life. Ernie Johnson did a great job narrating this book and telling his perspective on life, spirituality, family, and more. After listening to the whole book over a few days and reflecting on what Ernie said regarding his relationship with his family, friendships, coworkers, classmates, and God. It made me want to change my whole approach towards life. it made me want to connect with God and discover my spirituality. Hearing his story made me want to get up and become a better son, brother, friend, and human. I am not much of a reader nor did I own an audible account before purchasing this audiobook, but EJ made all of that change. Ernie thank you man, I don't know what else to say but thank you for making me realize I could become a better person.
