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.

We seldom know the TV host, but after reading
this book I realized Ernie was a special man. A very enjoyable story during the times of negativity in our world.

I wanted to like this more than I did. Ernie seems like a nice guy and has lead an exciting, privileged life which he has shared with others less fortunate. And he’s battled cancer which is not for the faint at heart. (Trust me I know.) And all of that’s admirable. However, the story-telling seemed a little cliche and a little scripted— almost like he was trying too hard to give life lessons and inspire us all. I’m usually a very positive person but something about this book just left me disappointed or feeling like it was a little fake or something… can’t put my finger on it. Not terrible, but just not great either.

Seems a little Scripted
