I'm Rachel Nichols.

It is a special day for us here in the show.

Five years ago today, we launched the jump right here inside ESPN L.

A studios.

And I am so grateful to the producers, directors, crew reporters and players who make this show what it is every day.

Most of all, though, to you out there watching.

We've done more than 1000 episodes, had what feels like a million special moments.

So a little salute here to the past five years.

Take a look.

Welcome to the jump.

Indeed.

We are so excited about this new basketball show.

Jump jump, people.

I'm Rachel Nichols.

I'm fucking way need to tell everybody this story about why I got in that dunk contest.

Do it all this way.

Actually, this question Thetis 73 19, Will they be the Chicago Bulls team?

That was 72 10.

It's like the MBA is having some sort of unicorn stampede out there.

E don't run the network.

If I did, there would be a tequila bar on the set of every show.

Was there ever a moment where you considered naming your son baby and Lillard?

No chance.

I'm not looking at him.

And then I realized how close to God that he didn't flinch because I knew I was gonna be about behind the desk.

I was like, I hope I don't have to stand up and have a segment.

Partners got Carter dry hay didn't talk to me like that for seven years.

No, Like Sands through the hourglass, it is time for the jump to serve up some blame pie on dances with T wolves.

I like dancing with dancing, baby, but the walking off the job loves the jump.

There you go.

Ask for a job.

Amazing.
