For a year now Chicago Sky star Angel Reese has been getting criticized for accumulating rebounds while struggling to score basic baskets. Reese seems to be taking advantage of that criticism with a "clever" little business move.

On Friday, Reese unveiled her new "MEBOUNDS" line of merchandise that she's trademarked and put on her website. The line includes various shirts and hats with the word "MEBOUNDS" such as a silhouette shirt and shirts with her phrase "Anything that comes off that board, it's mine!" Reese has said that the sales will go to her Angel C. Reese Foundation in the fight against cyberbullying.
"MEBOUNDS, REESEBOUNDS, REBOUNDS… MERCH AVAILABLE NOW! Part of the proceeds are going to go to the Angel C. Reese foundation to help fight against cyberbullying!" she wrote on X.
Reese's supporters have widely applauded the business move, praising how it addresses her detractors directly:

"Angel, the woman you are. And the cause the money is going to? Chef's kiss. I'm so glad to be a proud fan. Let me gonna and buy mine and support. Congrats!" a third wrote.
"Your ability to rise above their organized hate gives me Joy. Shopping any of these merch should be fun."

If anything, they doubled down on the criticism by calling it a case of Reese being selfish and lacking self-awareness:

"I tried to buy it online but it kept bouncing out of my shopping basket," one user joked.
"Never knew being bad at anything could get someone so much support! Shirts crazy!" another mocked.
"So part of the proceeds are going to your own organization? Gods work… aspiring young girls to be mid with each tee shirt sold!"
"Hopefully this will help you pay for your $7k rent or your mortgage in Clermont."
At least Reese is going to be turning her biggest criticism into a new moneymaker.
