After six years of support and enthusiasm, New York Knicks fans are quickly turning their backs on their (once) beloved superstar. The Knicks’ under .500 record has obviously led to fans blaming one factor or another for the team’s recent struggles, and no excuse can be more blatant than the one surrounding Carmelo Anthony’s “subpar” play.
This season, Carmelo Anthony is averaging 22.3 points per game, while shooting 43.3 percent from the field, per Basketball-reference.com. Both numbers are just short of his career average of 24.8 points per game and career field goal percentage of 45.
