Could be wrong but I think a lot of it stems from the backlash he took when he went to join the team he couldn't beat in the West. I think people got under his skin and the whole thing still gets to him. He had an interview with (I believe) Colin Cowherd the other day and he was already warning internet "trolls" and "fan boys" to not even bother responding to him.
Anyone who has to create fake Twitter names to defend themselves is a tad thin skinned.
And those shoes, lol. Where the soles were nothing but all the stuff people were saying about him combined with, in yellow, a bunch of stuff like "16-1" and "Finals MVP". Over the years, he's become thin-skinned to a degree that even the worst of the typical NBA diva-type tries to avoid.
