The fake twitter account thing is weird.  I still haven't decided if I should like him more or less for that.

IIRC, he's always picked up a lot of T's, no?  I never really got the sense KD's temperament was one of a martyr even when he was being portrayed as one, but I think it's definitely fair to say he grows more ornery by the year.

Despite all that, I'd bet his biggest regret is the tweet he sent - "what happened to trying to beat people rather than join them?," or something to that effect - post-LeBron decision in 2010.

Altogether, he simply strikes me as a dude who changes his mind a lot.  If I had to guess, I'd say maybe he's on the more mild end of the bipolar spectrum.  That would explain the moodiness, the paranoia, and the insecurity.  I've never gotten the impression that he has any character issues or deficiencies as a competitor/teammate, I think he'll ultimately just be remembered as another imperfect athlete who you either liked or didn't.  Whereas with some players like, I don't know, Damian Lillard, you ask "how could anybody dislike this guy?," Durant is a guy I can understand turning people off, despite the fact that I like him, if that makes sense.
