WNBA Star Angel Reese Trademarks 'Mebounds,' Gains Praise from Dave Portnoy

Angel Reese, a standout player for the Chicago Sky, has turned criticism of her rebounding style into a savvy marketing opportunity by trademarking the term 'Mebounds' and partnering with Reebok to release signature sneakers under that brand. Despite initial negative connotations, Reese embraced the term and now sells 'Mebounds' apparel, using proceeds to support cyberbully prevention through her foundation. The marketing move has even earned reluctant praise from Dave Portnoy, a vocal Caitlin Clark supporter and critic of Reese, who called the strategy 'brilliant' despite his personal bias. Reese continues to excel on the court, leading the WNBA in offensive rebounds and total rebounds per game while improving her overall performance. Meanwhile, she has also shown support for fellow WNBA players like Brittney Sykes, highlighting the community aspect of the league. Reese's growing marketability is further cemented by her being named a cover athlete for NBA 2K26, underscoring her rising prominence in women's basketball.
