What does it mean to hold space for celebration, grief, community health, and legacy all in one week? Host Mariah Woodson flies solo this episode — Tamara Peyton couldn't make the trip — to reflect on a jam-packed week at NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.

Mariah walks through the events, moments, and conversations that shaped her week, including: Attending the NBA Legends Annual Event and watching her father fellowship with the pioneers of the game,

A surprise, full-circle moment when former guest Olden Polynice praised "Born to the Game" to a room of NBA legends

Missing the "She's Got Time" summit — founded by Swin Cash to empower women across sports and entertainment — and committing to attend next year.

 A candid conversation with her dad and her husband about how Summer League is really used to evaluate young talent, not just wins and losses

An unforgettable "10 out of 10" Jeezy concert experience in Vegas

A critical PSA from the National Basketball Wives Association summit: per the CDC, Black women account for over half of new HIV diagnoses among women in the U.S. despite being just 13% of the female population — and why safe sex, regular testing, and ending the stigma matter

Processing what it means when fans stop her in person to say the show matters to them

A first look at an upcoming Summer League behind-the-scenes YouTube series
