Seems to have been that way since he went from role player to star. It was reported that the veteran has-been players in Chicago resented him showing up one day with an attitude to match his contract. It was just a bad situation for the franchise, really, since just about severyone else was well on the way to washed up.
I think in Minny, he may have come in the same way, given his buddyship with Thibs, Thibs' rep, and the inconsistency of the younger supertalents on the roster.
Seems like a talented bard worker that would thrive on a team, and the team would be mad good, if he weren't the best player and leader by default. If he were the guy just outside the post game presser, even better. He should lead by example (which he does) and quit trying to talk, in other words.
