Damn man, for somoene who is all over Angel Reese you are out of the loop on this.

A "Mebound" is a term that was coined for her rebounding her own misses. shyt been everywhere for the past couple weeks, to the point where Reese has not only addressed it but is trying to take ownership of the word by copyright/trademarking it. In one game she got 5 mebounds in a single possession because she kept bricking the layup or getting blocked but then grabbing the rebound.


And to your overall point, they aint talking about Angel Reese because folks aint tuning in to First Take to hear about Angel Reese. They are an entertainment show, not a legit sports breakdown program. 1st Take is a hot take, whats popular, program 1st and foremost. I been hopping around sports radio on Sirius most of the day and nobody is talking about Angel Reese and that triple double. But everybody is airing a CC segment. So dont try and pin this on Stephen A and 1st Take.
I know what they’re saying, but the term itself is stupid because every rebound is technically a “Mebound” because the individual player is going after the ball (unless it just happens to fall into the guard’s hands because a big was being courteous).

As far as your second point, people will talk about whatever you tell them to. It’s like the argument of why they discuss the Cowboys so much because Cowboys=ratings. No one gives a fukk about the Cowboys like that. They haven’t won shyt in 30 years and barely won any playoff games since. The same eyes will tune in to hear them talk about any of those top teams. They’re not gonna change the channel because they’re not talking Cowboys.

She wasn't a star at UConn...she was never a scorer, she was always a role player that didn't score

And that's what LV wants for Aja...give Aja all the shots lol
Kiah has went multiple games scoring 0 do you know how hard that is with the amount of minutes she plays.

You couldn't score on accident, don't say that's because Aja taking shots. :dead:

You think the same number of people will engage with a show if they are talking about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in comparison to the Dallas Cowboys?

:gucci:



Breh, you know why "Mebounds" hasnt been a thing until now?

Because if an NBA player was as bad at layups as Angel Reese they wouldnt get the chance to earn that "mebound" moniker because they wouldnt get the damn ball. :heh:

Not enough coordination. China gonna have to go back to the lab and re-engineer that Yao Ming DNA they have stored.
Yeah, she's too big and bumbling.

She's basically the bigger and taller version of Han Xu (the skinny 6' 11'' Chinese player that used to be on the Liberty). Han Xu had no coordination skills and no finesse. That's why she's not in the W anymore and back in China lol.

her net rating was horrible with CT last year too, what was Curt Miller thinking? and then trading for Nalyssa too so you could bag Carrington, for what?
