In basketball, a “rebound” happens when any player retrieves the ball after a missed shot. A “mebound” is when the shooter retrieves the ball after their own missed shot.
“Mebound” was coined early in the 2025 WNBA season to describe the common practice of professional basketball player Angel Reese rebounding her own misses. Angel Reese missed – and rebounded – so many layups in 2024 that it lead to her having the most single season rebounds per game of any player ever, which also set a WNBA rookie record.

Get the Mebounds mug.Pronunciation: /mee-boundz/
Plural of "mebound"
A "rebound" stat that only exists because you bricked your own garbage shot—on purpose. Usually flaunted by players who shoot like they're aiming for the popcorn guy, then chase down their own mess with holy conviction. The real magic? Acting like each mebound was a calculated masterstroke, then flexing on the bench like they just reinvented basketball.
Alternate definition:
When your field goal percentage is so trash, you invent a whole new stat line to stay relevant—mebounds: because why pass when you can just be your own assist?
---
Origin:
First coined courtside by teammates too polite to say "stop shooting" and too tired to keep rebounding for you.
See also:
Stat padding
Self-sabotage with hustle
Russell Westbrick
"Trust the process"
