Has the media affect Carmelo Anthony's game play?

I have watched one of the hottest teams fall in last few weeks. The New York Knicks were playing so well until Carmelo come back to play for them. The Knicks had a great record in the eighth spot for the playoffs and now dropped out of the final spot. Carmelo had an interview with a sports caster that questioned his willingness to share the ball and asked if he would like to be the player to take the final game winning shot rather than his team-mate, the hot shooting Jeromy Lin. Carmelo was bothered that the sports caster asked this question because Lin was up and coming and that he was the veteran and had a positive record of taking the last shot. Carmelo has let the media influence how he plays now. He doesn’t play the way he used to play with his team, now Carmelo is trying to fit with his team to make everyone happy rather than allowing the game come to him. His game play is starting to question the organization if he was actually worth bringing to New York because since his arrival from the injury they have only two wins and now on a six game loosing streak.
