Originally Recorded On 6.17.2026
Episode 117 finds Kurt & Chelsie back on the mic as they wrap up the final week of the Capitol Hoops Summer League regular season and prepare for what promises to be an exciting playoff run.
After weeks of competition featuring many of the DMV's top programs and players, Kurt & Chelsie take a moment to reflect on the storylines that defined the summer. From standout individual performances to teams that have found their rhythm heading into the postseason, they discuss what they've seen courtside at DeMatha and what has impressed them most throughout the league.
The conversation then turns toward the playoffs as they examine key matchups, championship contenders, and the players who could make the biggest impact when the stakes are highest. With the regular season complete, every possession matters, and the road to a Capitol Hoops Summer League championship is officially underway.
The episode also takes a detour to the professional game as Kurt & Chelsie react to one of the most surprising storylines in recent NBA history... the New York Knicks' remarkable run to an NBA Championship. They discuss the Finals, the players who delivered on the biggest stage, and what the title means for a franchise and fan base that waited decades for basketball's ultimate prize. Summer league reflections. Playoff predictions. NBA Finals reactions. What happened to Wemby?
Kurt & CMC close out the CHSL regular season on Episode 117.
