The Chicago Sky star filed a trademark application over the weekend for the term, which refers to a rebound a player secures off her own missed shot. Although the term is relatively new, the “mebound” concept has hounded Reese throughout her first two WNBA seasons.

During Tuesday's game against the Mystics, Chicago Sky head coach Tyler Marsh chose to celebrate Reese by wearing her Reebok Engine A "Pretty Gritty" PE shoes on the sideline. Fans reacted strongly to Marsh's gesture on Tuesday during the game against Washington. Many took to social media to voice their support for the first-year head coach.

Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese has heard the criticisms of her game. A lot of it is centered around the notion that she is only good at grabbing rebounds, specifically ones that are generated by her own missed shots.
