The San Antonio Spurs’ Tony Parker, generally viewed as the league’s current teardrop master, insisted that he came up with the shot as a child. “I got copyrights on that,” he said. “I did that because I was small and it was the only way I could get a shot off on the bigs. I grew a little bit later.” The Warriors, making a surprising run in the playoffs, may have the strongest link to the teardrop. The team is coached by Mark Jackson, a former point guard who popularized the shot in the 1990s. He recently called it a “tremendous weapon,” and he has watched his star player, Curry, use it effectively. New York Times

Though it left him with blurred vision, point guard Tony Parker seemed unconcerned about a scratch to the white part of his right eye, suffered when Darius Morris reached for a steal midway through the second quarter Friday. “It was a little bit blurry in the second half, it’s a little bit blurry this morning,” Parker said before Saturday’s workout. “The doctors say (Sunday) it should be fine.” Parker made three consecutive jumpers after the poke but said his vision got worse as the game went along. “I was not really seeing the rim,” Parker said. “I asked the doc, ‘I think something’s wrong with my right eye.’” Parker is on a three-day regimen of special drops in the eye to promote healing. His latest injury is opposite the eye scratched in the infamous New York City nightclub brawl last summer and is significantly less severe. San Antonio Express-News
