Angel Reese Directly Addresses Major Criticism About Her Game

In total, 217 of the 552 rebounds in Reese's career have come on the offensive glass. 

Some critical fans created the term "Mebounds" to describe the way that Reese, who sports a career field goal percentage of 38.6 percent, often inflates her rebounding totals by grabbing her own missed layups at the rim.

The 23-year-old, who had to fight tears  this week when teammate Ariel Atkins acknowledged the "heavy crown" she wears, has heard the term. Her reaction might surprise you.

"Whoever came up with the ‘mebounds’ thing, y’all ate that up," she said in a video to her 5.6 million followers on TikTok. "Anything that comes off that board, it's mine.”

She took the slanderous term in stride, calling it a "six-figure" idea while talking confidently about her rebounding abilities.

"The trolling, I love when y'all do it," she admitted. "The ideas be good!"

Reese continues to show strength on and off the court despite being one of the most heavily-criticized players in the WNBA. 

Though the Sky are off to a 2-7 start to the season, she is averaging 10.3 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.6 steals per game. 

Chicago will look for its third win of the season against the 2-7 Connecticut Sun on Sunday at noon ET on CBS.
