The reasons the Jackson and Bonds examples fail is because their performances trumped their prima donna attitudes. First of all, their teammates care primarily about performance. Secondly, the media isn't in your face asking "Barry, what do you think the problem is?" every day. When the media ultimately turned on Bonds (rightly), it fell apart nicely.
Milton was a negative attention whore while underachieving and failing to build any bridges with his teammates. That's not going to be easy to get away with.
