We’ve seen this happen many times before, and it never gets old. Houston Rockets center Omer Asik accidentally scored on his own basket while trying to grab a rebound during his team’s 117-101 win over the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday.
Even with the gift, the 3-12 Raptors couldn’t capitalize. Asik finished with 13 points (not including the deuce for the opponent), and 18 rebounds. The third-year player from Turkey is actually third in the NBA in rebounds per game now that he’s getting a chance to start.
Congrats, Omer, you now have an embarrassing moment that tops the 0-point performance you had in your second career game with Houston.
