Angel Reese wants to respond to her online haters by lining her pockets, as she has made the entrepreneurial decision to file a trademark for the term ‘Mebounds’.
The term, which is derived from being selfish as a rebounder, is a clapback from Reese to some of her online haters who believe her best skill in the WNBA comes from her prioritizing herself and not the entire Chicago Sky roster.
Reese’s trademark was field in her home state of Maryland and covers any tee shirts, sweatshirts, and hates with the name ‘Mebounds’ on it.
Reese has garnered plenty of attention this season, ever since her on-court confrontation with rival Caitlin Clark last month. Now, Reese is set to make money off of her haters.
Reese had to be restrained after Clark knocked her down and caused her to spill the ball moments after she grabbed an offensive rebound near the end of the third quarter.
As tempers hit boiling point, Clark turned her back and walked away as players from both teams got between the two to stop things spilling over. Reese then walked to the side of the court where a Sky official stepped in front of her to try and get her to cool her temper.

That led to a racism investigation from the league into Indiana’s fans, which found no wrongdoing.
All parties involved tried to distance themselves from the situation after the investigation was completed.
‘There’s no place for that in our game, there’s no place for that in society,’ Clark aid after the investigation was announced last month. ‘We want every person that comes into our arena, whether player, whether fan, to have a great experience.’
Reese had her time to speak as well, saying that ‘there’s no place in this league for that.’
‘I think the WNBA and our team and our organization have done a great job supporting me,’ she told reporters. ‘I’ve had communication from everyone, from so many people across this league. It could happen to me, it can happen to anyone. And I think they’ve done a good job supporting us in this.’
