Angel Reese Turns 'Mebounds' Insult into Six-Figure Success

7 Sep

Summary

Reese transformed criticism into six figures via merchandise.
Proceeds support her foundation's fight against cyberbullying.
The 'Mebounds' concept also became a Reebok shoe colorway.

Angel Reese, a prominent WNBA star, has ingeniously transformed a critical phrase into a significant financial success. Initially mocked with the term "Mebounds" for collecting offensive rebounds after her own missed shots, Reese embraced the criticism.

She then filed a trademark for "MEBOUNDS" through her LLC, launching merchandise including clothing with slogans like "Anything that comes off that board, it's mine." This initiative not only redefined the negative term but also turned it into a profitable business.

Beyond the financial gains, Reese strategically directed a portion of the proceeds to the Angel C. Reese Foundation. This foundation actively combats cyberbullying and supports underserved groups through sports and education.

Reese revealed on her podcast in early October 2025 that the "Mebounds" venture had generated "six figures-plus." The concept's reach further expanded through a partnership with Reebok, featuring "Mebounds" as a colorway for her signature shoe, solidifying her ownership of the narrative and its positive impact.
