Angel Reese is having a moment, but not the kind the media tried to script. After a string of dominant performances in her rookie WNBA season, Reese found herself catching heat online from critics coining a new (and shady) term: “mebounds.”
BUT THE GAG IS: IT’S NOT EVEN TRUE.
THE NARRATIVE DIDN’T MATCH THE STATS.
Angel Reese is already one of the best rebounders in WNBA history, and she’s only in her second season. If you removed every player’s self-rebounds from the league, Angel would still be the only one averaging a double-double this season.
In fact, in her last three games alone? 📊33 rebounds. Zero came from her own missed shots.
😂 She laughed.
💸 And then she trademarked it.
Enter: Mebounds.
