Angel Reese Hater Dave Portnoy Impressed By Reese’s ‘Mebounds’ Marketing Campaign During WNBA All-Star Game

Angel Reese is capitalizing on the hate she receives from fans and is now garnering praise from unlikely sources.

In her two seasons in the WNBA, Reese has been accused of missing layups to stuff her rebound totals. Fans eventually gave her the nickname “mebounds”, which she decided to trademark earlier this year.

“Whoever came up with the ‘mebounds’ thing, y’all ate that up… anything that comes off that board, it’s mine…” said Reese in a TikTok video.

Reese has now released apparel under the “mebounds” brand and showed a new Adidas “mebounds” colorway of her signature sneaker ahead of the WNBA All-Star game.

Even Dave Portnoy, who has been critical of Reese in the past, admits he’s impressed with her “mebounds” marketing campaign.

I hate (sports sense) Angel Reese. Hate her. That’s how much it pains me to admit how brilliant it was for her team to trademark Mebounds and make it her thing. Brilliant. I hate how brilliant it is. https://t.co/UmLLr2olCn

WNBA fans were also impressed with Reese’s “mebounds” marketing strategy.
