Overview

  • Reese submitted a trademark application for “mebounds” on June 14 to cover merchandise such as T-shirts and hats.
  • The term originated online to lampoon her knack for snagging rebounds off her own missed shots.
  • Critics have labeled her rebounding style stat-padding, but league data show she still averages a double-double without her own-shot boards.
  • She logged a 11-point, 13-rebound, 11-assist triple-double to become the second-youngest player in WNBA history to hit that mark.
  • Reese leads the WNBA with 11.9 rebounds per game and has amassed more career rebounds (532) than points (526) so far.
