Angel Reese releases ‘mebounds' merchandise with proceeds going toward cyber-bullying prevention
After filing to trademark the term 'mebounds,' Angel Reese has released a merchandise collection featuring the word used to mock her game on the court through her personal website, with a portion of proceeds going to 'support cyber bully prevention through The Angel C. Reese Foundation.' Reese has also followed up the 'mebounds' trademark filing with one for the term 'Reesebounds.'
The 'mebounds' collection includes a variety of T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and slides ranging from $28-$75 in both youth and adult sizes. One shirt design is the text of the trademark filing.
'Whoever came up with the 'mebounds' thing, y'all ate that up because 'mebounds,' rebounds, 'crebounds' … anything that comes off that board, it's mine,' Reese said in a TikTok video around the time of the trademark filing. 'And a brand? That's six figures right there.'

'Mebounds' began as a mocking reference to Reese's penchant for getting the rebounds from her own misses. Reese is averaging 12.3 rebounds and 11.7 points per game on 39.1 percent shooting through 15 games for the Chicago Sky so far this season.
The 'mebounds' trademark application was filed on June 14 and is awaiting examination. On June 20, Reese filed an application to trademark 'Reesebounds,' which is also still pending examination. Both trademarks are intended for use on T-shirts, sweatshirts, and hats.

Tennis Fans Want Reporter Fired For 'Tacky' Carlos Alcaraz Question
Tennis Fans Want Reporter Fired For 'Tacky' Carlos Alcaraz Question originally appeared on The Spun. With the 2025 Wimbledon Championships on the horizon, Carlos Alcaraz is trending because of his life off the court. Advertisement Earlier this month, Alcaraz asked Emma Raducanu to be his partner for mixed doubles at the US Open. She was more than willing to accept his offer. Once their partnership for the final Grand Slam tournament of the year was confirmed, fans started speculating about their connection. That speculation only grew louder when Alcaraz and Raducanu were spotted practicing together at Wimbledon. Raducanu later revealed they were working on something with Evian since they're both ambassadors for the brand. Despite their best efforts to keep the focus on tennis, Alcaraz and Raducanu haven't been able to dodge questions from the public. On Saturday afternoon, Raducanu was asked about her dynamic with Alcaraz. An unidentified reporter was wondering if there's a potential romance brewing behind the scenes. Advertisement "There's been lots of chatter online about your friendship with Carlos," a reporter asked. "Is there any truth behind the rumors?" Raducanu replied, "We're just good friends." LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 16: In this handout from the AELTC, Carlos Alcaraz of Spain smiles as he is interviewed in the Media Theatre in the Broadcast Centre after his victory against Novak Djokovic of Serbia in the final of the Gentlemen's Singles during day fourteen of The Championships Wimbledon 2023 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 16, 2023 in London, England. (Photo by AELTC/Joe Toth via Getty Images)Handout/Getty Images Raducanu handled this interaction with class, make no mistake about it. That doesn't change the fact that it was a ridiculous question. In fact, some fans want this reporter to face consequences for this question. "Tennis reporters should not ask such questions," one fan said. "This is getting ridiculous," a second fan wrote. "It is none of our business, leave them alone," a third fan commented. "Tennis reporters are so unprofessional. Some reporters, especially those from the UK. It is yet another example of the circuits, particularly the @wta failing to monitor the press conferences and protect their players," an Instagram user wrote. Advertisement "Leave them alone and let it happen organically if you do like them as a couple. Tacky otherwise, but it's the media so what else is new," another social media user said. As of now, the reporter hasn't apologized for their question about Alcaraz and Raducanu. Hopefully, this bizarre situation doesn't become the top story at Wimbledon this upcoming week.

How to watch X Games Salt Lake City Day 3: Best trick showcase in grand finale
Sunday highlights the highest risks and best tricks as the 30th anniversary X Games come to a close in Salt Lake City. It is a day reserved for the most consequential contests, in which a single run can redefine an athlete's legacy. It's also a day of fan favorites. Betting remains active, and with stunts this dicey, the odds can shift before the wheels touch down. Advertisement An all-day digital livestream of Sunday's events can be found on the Roku Sports Channel. Women's Skateboard Street Best Trick opens the day. Chloe Covell is just 15, but she's already the rider to beat as the owner of four X Games gold medals. Her lines are crisp, fast and technically advanced. She faces a deep field of teenage talent, pushing the ceiling higher with each appearance. The lineup continues with Men's Skateboard Vert Best Trick, BMX Dirt Best Trick, Men's Skateboard Street Best Trick and Moto X QuarterPipe High Air. Colby Raha enters as the favorite in the latter — he's won four titles and continues to hit heights once thought impossible. But new challengers are closing in, and a single slip can change the standings. In the Men's Skateboard Vert Best Trick final, Gui Khury is within reach of another gold. The 16-year-old claimed his eighth X Games gold, the most ever for a teenager, when he won the Men's Skateboard Vert competition on Friday. Vert is the sport's root system, where style, control and innovation collide. Finally, after Women's BMX Park, the Dave Mirra BMX Park Best Trick closes the weekend. Kevin Peraza returns to chase a sixth medal in the event that honors Mirra's legacy. Expect big air and creative lines that nod to BMX history while pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
