5 Reasons Why Carmelo Anthony is OKC's Kryptonite

#3 Worst shooting numbers this year

Carmelo Anthony is recording his worst numbers in terms of shooting and free throw percentages as well as points per game this year.

Melo boasts of a healthy career stat line of 24.2 points per game scoring at an accuracy of 44.9 percent from the field and 81.2 percent from the free throw line. This year, however, the forward from Syracuse has managed only 16.5 points per game, draining only 40.7 percent of his field goal attempts and making only 76.4 percent of his free throws.

His decline though is pretty evident from the shot selections made by Melo all throughout this year and there's little hope of improvement, given his age of 33 years.

Given the fact that Anthony had recorded below-career number points per game figures in each of his last three seasons, his downfall was always on the cards. However, such a drastic deterioration could have never been fathomed.
