Angel Reese's Old Nickname Surfaces After Chicago Sky Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky moved to 3-7 during the 2025 WNBA season after a 78 to 66 win against the Connecticut Sun on Sunday. This win snapped a three-game losing streak for the Sky and gave them their first win in the Commissioner's Cup as well.

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.

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.
