Barkley understood the feeling.
In those days, he wanted to leave the Phoenix Suns for a championship.
The Phoenix fans felt the same way.
The Suns' management did everything in their powers to send him where he wanted to go, to the Rockets.
In Phoenix, he experienced what it was like to be the "favorite".
So, when looking back on his career, he felt no guilt for not bringing a championship to the Philadelphia 76ers, a city that never really considered him a superstar.
But he did feel regret for not bringing a championship to the Suns.
Those were truly a great management team and fans.
He didn't regret spending the peak of his career with the Suns.
In the faces of the Pacers' fans, he saw a reflection of the Suns' fans.
