I remember a year he had where he struggled (by his lofty standards). He showed some of the same passive aggressive, defensiveness then as he shows all the time now.

At the time I thought the asocial, defensive KD was the abberation and the carefree, small-town hero was the real KD.

It clearly seems the exception is really the rule.

Example #5411 that we don't know these people.

And I can't blame him. If I saw images and press of myself every hour of everyday, and heard people who play loose with journalism and have self-centered agendas attack my name, I'd want to stab someone.

But on the flipside, all of these guys have their meltdowns in the press. Some more than others. But they're all over-exposed.
