Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese said on her Unapologetically Angel podcast that she made over six figures off the Mebounds merchandise (15:25 mark).
“So the Mebounds, if you know, you know, they tried to clown me for rebounds, and what did I do? I made a bag off it. Six figures-plus, thank you. So y’all can try again, because I do need an idea for some more colorways, so just keep it coming.”
Reese had received much criticism on social media for missing shots and grabbing her offensive rebounds, which led to the term “mebounds.” However, Reese turned a negative into a huge positive, with part of the proceeds going to her foundation.
Reese averaged 14.6 points and a WNBA-high 12.6 rebounds this past season for the Sky. She also made the All-Star Game for the second time in her two WNBA campaigns.
