Overview

  • Former MLB star and NBC Sports Philadelphia analyst John Kruk quipped during a Phillies–White Sox broadcast that someone in Chicago “cleans up” missed shots, an apparent nod to Reese’s self-rebounding method.
  • Reese fired off “Clout is one helluva DRUG. like it really gets to a point” on X and later shared a TikTok lip-sync video to challenge her detractors.
  • She officially trademarked “Mebounds” to turn online criticism of her habit of rebounding her own missed layups into a brand asset.
  • WNBA legend Candace Parker placed Reese in a C tier on her new Post Moves podcast trailer, sparking debate over the young forward’s place among the league’s top players.
  • Despite averaging 14.2 points and 12.6 rebounds per game and becoming the fastest to 500 points and 500 rebounds, Reese’s efforts haven’t lifted the Sky above 12th place as they endure a six-game skid.
