Mebound

A portmanteau of me and rebound. The act of a basketball player fielding their own rebound after missing their own shot or layup. A mebound is a sarcastic criticism of a player’s inflated rebound stats, since every mebound requires a missed attempt on the basket by the awarded player.

Angel Reese had a double double last night, but 75% of her rebounds were mebounds, some of which included three consecutive bricks by Reese in as many seconds.

Mebound

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.

“Another game, another mebound stat padding by Angel Reese.”

Mebounds

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.

"Yo, Jalen dropped 22 mebounds last night. Dude went 3 for 28 but padded the box score like a champ."

Two words. Smelly melly. She smells so bad every day and I cannot handle it any more. She comes in everyday in her stinky ass converse and rat ass glasses. The stench is so strong that it takes a physical form, you can see clouds of dust forming around her when she walks. Not only that, she has an infatuation with multiple weird subjects. Feet, piss, vegetables, degradation, and the inflation of our national economy. It is odd to be around her and it’s also hard to be around her because you lose your eyesight after smelling her for too long. Everytime she uses the bathroom she clogs every single toilet and STINKS IT UP SO BAD that you can’t even breathe. Sometimes she’ll be so smelly that she’ll suffocate people to death. It is her secret evil power. Other than that she’s pretty nice ig

Meloundja smells so bad I might kill myself.
