Some people at ESPN like to joke that Rachel Nichols is the most prolific writer at the company. Nichols, a former reporter for The Washington Post, has been a fixture on TV for well over a decade now. But she still tirelessly crafts a monologue for each and every episode of her show, The Jump, with topics ranging from North Carolina’s bathroom bill and how it relates to the NBA to whether the Thunder should consider trading Paul George. Nichols’s monologues are akin to your favorite sportswriter producing a new column every day, and her well-informed, well-thought opinions are a large part of what have made The Jump the best basketball show on television.
