I remember watching Game 2 of the Spurs semifinal game last May against the Houston Rockets, and sitting there heartbroken to see Tony Parker crumple to the floor a few minutes into the 4th quarter after attempting his signature teardrop. I held my breath as he was carried off the floor by his teammates.
When it was announced that he had torn his quadriceps, I thought he was finished. How could a 35 year old point guard return from such a devastating injury? We’ve had some great stories when it comes to this team, but it seemed like The Wee Frenchman was done.
