VIDEO: Nobody tanks like Cole Aldrich tanks

Cole Aldrich scored on his own net Wednesday.

There are plenty of explanations for why the New York Knicks forward may have "accidentally" decided to push a defensive rebound through his own hoop:

• The Knicks only have a one-game cushion for the 30th spot in the standings and the best odds at the No. 1 pick.
• He felt bad for Paul George after his injury and wanted to do the Indiana Pacers a favor as they chase the eighth playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
• He wanted to add fuel to the rivalry with the Brooklyn Nets, helping the Pacers out and hurting the Nets' playoff chances in the process.

And then, of course, there's the most likely reason:

• He's a Knick, which means he's not particularly skilled at basketball. He's a 6-foot-11 center who shoots 46 percent.

Judge for yourself:

In any case, those particular two points aren't likely to mean much, as the Pacers appear set to cruise to victory.
