Angel Reese Makes Statement With Outfit For Sky-Lynx Game
Angel Reese Makes Statement With Outfit For Sky-Lynx Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky are playing some of their best basketball of the 2025 WNBA season, winning two of their last three games.

During her second WNBA season, Reese was again named an All-Star after averaging 12.4 points, 12.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 16 games. But she hasn't escaped the stat-padding accusations, as some fans claim her rebound totals come mostly from collecting her own missed shots, which they call "Mebounds."

Ahead of Sunday's game, Reese showed off her new gear, wearing a black T-shirt with the word 'Mebounds' across the front outlined in pink. She also went with Nike shorts, Beats headphones and flip flops. Advertisement WNBA fans enjoyed Reese's latest outfit, taking to social media to leave their thoughts. "Let's go angel," one fan said. "Oh she about to give us the calmest 20/20," claimed a second. "Angel?? Another master loading…" wrote a third. "Angel always with the subtle messages rocking the mebounds shirt😜.. I'm feeling the chill vibe today🔥.. LFG!!!!!!!" commented a fourth on Instagram (IG). "LET'S GO ALL STAR," added a fifth on IG. "Mebounds, Shebounds, Reesebounds all equal AllStar bound! Let's go Sky!" replied a sixth on IG.
